Still, you might be wondering if this is a good time to invest in a home improvement project like storm door installation. Frankly, if you don’t already have storm doors, any time is a good time, but there are parts of the year that are better than others. And this is one of the best.
One reason is that the weather is still fairly mild, but high temps are in the forecast for awhile yet. An important benefit of storm doors is cutting energy costs for heating and cooling, so if you have them installed now you’ll be able to cut back on your A/C use and still be comfortable. Plus having them on before the bitter cold hits means you’ll save when your furnace kicks in.
Energy savings for both hot and cold weather should be reason enough, but we’ve got other things for you to consider. For example, one thing storm doors provide is protection for your exterior doors from severe weather. This is particularly needful if your entry doors are wood. Things like hail, ice, and wind-driven rain can cause problems with wood doors.
Another good reason for scheduling a storm door installation now? With mild fall weather coming, you can have your entry doors open for ventilation but still secure with a partial-glass storm door that is screened. Keep your pets and small children in and keep intruders and insects out! (Check out the model shown above – it’s a DuraGuard full screen storm door from ProVia, one of our favorite door suppliers.)
Finally, we will tell you that as the bad winter weather gets closer, people tend to call us to get on our schedule. But right now many homeowners aren’t even thinking about storm doors, since most people associate them with protection in the winter. But if you ask us, they are for all seasons!
Storm doors add protection, value, security, and energy savings to your home. To find out more about why we recommend having them installed now, contact one of our Minneapolis storm door installation specialists to arrange a free, no-obligation consultation in your home or our Savage showroom.
