Why Energy Efficiency Matters

Heating and cooling costs in Pennsylvania and New Jersey rise sharply during extreme weather. Many homeowners insulate walls, windows, and roofs but overlook one of the largest entry points to their home. The garage door. At Summit Door LLC, we install and service insulated garage doors that can dramatically improve energy efficiency while enhancing comfort.

The Problem with Non-Insulated Garage Doors

A standard garage door offers little protection against outside temperatures. In places like Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Whitehall, Nazareth, Phillipsburg, and Flemington, this can mean:

• Heat loss in winter leading to higher heating bills.
• Heat gain in summer forcing your AC to work harder.
• Colder bedrooms or living spaces located above or beside the garage.
• Increased wear on HVAC systems, reducing their lifespan.

How Insulated Garage Doors Improve Efficiency

• Temperature Control: Insulated doors regulate temperatures inside the garage, reducing the strain on your home’s HVAC system.
• Lower Energy Bills: By preventing heat loss and gain, energy costs can drop significantly, especially during Pennsylvania winters and New Jersey summers.
• Increased Comfort: If you use your garage as a workshop, gym, or storage area, insulation keeps the space more comfortable year-round.
• Enhanced Durability: Insulated doors are built with stronger materials, meaning they resist dents and damage better than standard models.
• Quieter Operation: Thicker, insulated panels absorb sound, reducing noise from both the outdoors and the door itself.

Common Types of Insulated Garage Doors

• Polystyrene Insulation: Affordable and lightweight, good for moderate climates.
• Polyurethane Insulation: Dense foam with the highest R-value, ideal for harsh winters in Lehigh Valley and Central New Jersey.
• Multi-Layer Steel Doors: Combine strength, insulation, and modern design.

The Financial Benefits Over Time

While insulated doors may cost more upfront, homeowners often see a return on investment within a few years through:

• Lower monthly utility bills.
• Reduced HVAC maintenance costs.
• Increased home value and curb appeal.
