If you’re planning to do a bit of home improvement this season, focus on projects that can enhance your home’s energy efficiency. This ensures that you can keep a more comfortable home all year round. Since you won’t be relying too much on your heating or cooling system, you can also enjoy considerable energy savings.

Southwest Exteriors, you reliable home improvement company, suggests keeping an eye on your home’s essential components—your windows, siding, and doors in San Antonio. All of them contribute to the comfort and efficiency of your living spaces. If one or all of them are failing, now is the best time for better, lasting solutions.

1. Siding Replacement Your home’s exterior takes up a large area in your home, serving as an armor that protects your interiors from the harshest elements. If they show signs of extensive wear and tear, however, drafts and moisture can become a problem. This will compromise your home’s thermal stability. Fortunately, Southwest Exteriors can help you with this. We offer HardiePlank® siding from James Hardie®, which feature superior weather resistance and lasting performance. Since this won’t easily break in the harshest weather, there’s less potential for damage that can lead to energy loss.

2. Door Installation The right exterior doors in San Antonio can make all the difference in your home’s energy efficiency. With our selection of ProVia® entry doors, you can keep cooling and heating energy from escaping your home. This brand’s fiberglass and steel entry units use polyurethane foam core, creating airtight seals for maximum energy efficiency. You can augment this with ComforTech™ glazing packages that comes in clear, decorative glass, and Inspirations Arts Glass.

3. Window Replacement Southwest Exteriors also offers window replacement. These replacement units are energy efficient due to their airtight seals that prevent significant energy loss. Combine this with protective glass and you can expect lower energy bills. Like your San Antonio doors, these windows will require a professional like Southwest Exteriors for their installation.
