A Good Time For Doors

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

With winter well on its way here to the metroplex, our attention turns to our heating bills and how we can lower them. One of the easiest (and most attractive) is installing energy efficient doors.

Whether you are in Dallas, Plano, or anywhere else in Collin, Dallas, or Denton counties, DEEP can provide you a quality energy efficient door to lower your heating bills and beautifying your home. We offer several types of doors, such as fiberglass, wood, and steel. We even offer energy efficient patio doors and storm doors. Please see our doors page for further information on our full line of doors and how they can save you money and beautify your home.

Once you’ve got the right Energy Efficient Door for your home, it’s very important to have it installed properly. You’ll want to have a good seal so air doesn’t leak in and out. When that happens, energy is being wasted which could increase your energy bill. It’s not a bad idea to check all your door and window seals periodically. All of our doors are Energy Star doors, a classification started by the E.P.A. To identify energy efficient products that save money and energy.

Lastly, make sure the glass in your door is energy efficient as well. A double paned glass is a good place to start, but there are other options.

Even though it’s December, adding an energy efficient door will save you money the rest of this winter, and every winter thereafter.

Conservation is within all of us.

Most of us now know what it means to be living “green” and trying to conserve our natural resources.  We want to leave a smaller carbon footprint and be less dependent on fossil fuels.  We want to make this a better world for our children and grandchildren.

We encourage the development of solar and wind power but for most residential use it is still too expensive and space prohibitive.  What we really need to do is CONSERVE what we aleady have and quit wasting our natural resouces whether it be water, gas or electric.  Most tract homes aren’t really built to save energy but to control cost many builders continue to use cheap aluminum frame double pane windows with minumum solar heat gain control and minumum attic insulation and ventilation.  Both that will cost the new homeowners thousands of energy dollars during their stays. Most can’t change everything but we can still make a differance one step at a time.  Changing out a few windows, adding 6-12″ of insulation, updating your a/c system from a 10-12 Seer rated system to 16-18 seer rated.

Using compact flourescent bulbs that use 75% less energy and last 10 times longer. Use of programmable thermastats to reduce usage during the day when we’re not there are just a few of the ways you can make a differance.  Call us at Dallas Energy Efficient Products and we’ll be glad to come to your home and show you how you can save money and have the government help pay for it.  Call us at 972-398-6105 to set an appointment.
