Why Upgrading Your Old Garage Door Could Save You More Than You Think

Season’s greetings and best wishes for a prosperous 2018 from everyone at Whitby Garage Doors! If you’ve been holding off on replacing your outdated garage door for some time now, you might not realize two key things. First, modern garage doors are far more affordable than many people assume. Second, there are likely more advantages to upgrading than you previously thought.

This is significant because these factors combined could mean that keeping your old door might end up costing you more than investing in a new one.

Energy Savings on Heating and Cooling

If your garage is attached to your home, the door plays a crucial role in how efficiently your home retains temperature. Newer, insulated garage doors dramatically reduce heat loss during winter and heat gain in summer, which means you’ll spend less on heating and cooling your home. Additionally, maintaining consistent indoor temperatures can extend the lifespan of your HVAC system, reducing maintenance costs over time.

Enhanced Curb Appeal

Your garage door is often the focal point of your home’s exterior appearance. An outdated or worn-out door can significantly detract from the curb appeal, even if you’ve invested in other improvements like landscaping or painting. A new garage door can completely transform the look of your home, making it more attractive to potential buyers if you ever decide to sell.

Improved Security

Older garage doors are more vulnerable to break-ins, which poses a risk to both your property and personal safety. Burglars often target garages because they offer easy access to the rest of your home. Upgrading to a newer, stronger door with advanced locking mechanisms can provide peace of mind and enhance the overall security of your property.

Returning to the initial point, purchasing a new garage door may not be as expensive as you imagine, and the benefits far outweigh those of your current door. Perhaps it’s time to reach out to Whitby Garage Doors and let us demonstrate how upgrading your garage door can lead to savings and added security. We’d love to help you make the right choice for your home.
