Don’t Let Heat Escape! How Garage Doors Impact Winter Energy Bills

When we think of winterproofing our homes in Southeast Michigan, garage doors often get overlooked. But if your garage is attached to your house—or houses a workshop, laundry room, or living space above, it plays a major role in your energy efficiency.

Why It Matters

A drafty, uninsulated garage door can let heat leak out and cold air seep in, increasing your utility bills and straining your HVAC system.

Signs Your Garage Door Is Hurting Your Home’s Efficiency:

• It feels noticeably colder in rooms adjacent to or above the garage

• Your garage door feels icy to the touch on the inside

• There’s visible daylight around the edges of the door

• You hear whistling or feel air movement inside the garage

Benefits of an Insulated Garage Door

• Temperature Control: Keeps garages more stable in extreme weather

• Energy Savings: Reduces heating demand inside the home

• Quieter Operation: Insulated doors reduce noise

• Increased Durability: Added strength and dent resistance

Brands we trust:

Amarr and Door Link Mfg both offer insulated garage doors built for harsh Midwestern winters. Pair them with smart openers from Liftmaster Professional for enhanced efficiency and convenience.

A properly insulated garage door isn’t just a winter luxury—it’s a smart, cost-saving home upgrade. Let Home & Door help you find the right fit before the first snowstorm.
