Being energy efficient is often at the forefront of homeowner’s minds nowadays, whether be it to keep energy bills at a minimum, or to help protect the environment against the effects of global warming. With some areas of the US seeing temperatures soar during the summer months, and with humidity levels often skyrocketing, the temptation can be to rely solely upon the benefits of air conditioning, but we all know how that can see your energy bills rise as high as the temperature outside. So, is there anything else that can help your home keep cool during the summer months?
Pay attention to your garage: It can be easy to think of your garage as a space to keep your car or other items safe in and neglect the fact that you might be able to use it to make your entire home more energy efficient. With the following simple and affordable tips, your garage could help you keep your summer energy bills as low as possible: • Use LED bulbs A small but significant change that while costing you a little more initially, will certainly save you bucks over the course of the year.
Get your garage door insulated This can be done quickly and at a relatively low cost when you use the services of a professional garage door specialist and can dramatically reduce the temperature inside your garage. If your garage is directly attached to your home, then it stands to reason that this will also lower the temperature throughout your entire home, and result in lower energy bills. • Get cracks repaired This is especially important if your garage is attached to your home and can
prevent warm exterior air from leaking into the garage, or cool interior air from escaping. If you do spot any cracks in the walls of your garage, it’s best to have them assessed and repaired by a professional. Once you do this, you could immediately see a reduction in your energy bills. • Swap to an energy-efficient garage door Many of the older garage doors were made without any consideration for energy efficiency, and can allow hot air to easily penetrate them, heating up your garage and your home beyond your levels of comfort, and causing your energy bills to be unnecessarily high. With so many energy efficient garage doors available today,
homeowners are spoilt for choice, but knowing which one might be best for your home, is something that only the experts can help you with. So, if you’re facing unbearably hot temperatures this summer and can’t afford to pay the rising cost of your energy bills, it might be time to talk to a garage door specialist about the ways in which your garage and its door, can help keep you cool and spending less during the summer months.
