      I keep hearing that replacing your front door can reduce heating bills, but I’m skeptical. Does it really make a noticeable difference, or is it just a small cosmetic upgrade with minimal impact on energy usage?

        I think the frame and insulation matter more than just the door slab.

          After changing our front door this winter, the difference was more noticeable than I expected. The old wooden door was drafty and the frame had gaps. The new https://www.elegantentrydoors.ca/ entry doors we chose had insulated cores and compression seals that eliminated air leaks. Our foyer is finally warm, and the furnace doesn’t cycle on as often. I haven’t done a full energy audit, but the house feels tighter overall. We also noticed fewer cold spots near the entrance, which helped with overall comfort. If you’ve got an older door or poor weatherstripping, upgrading can definitely make your home more efficient and pleasant to live in.
