How New Siding Can Improve Your Home’s Energy Efficiency

Larry Walty II • December 9, 2022

A siding replacement is a home improvement project known to enhance the appearance and comfort of your home. But it can also boost its energy efficiency, allowing you to preserve valuable resources and save money on your heating and cooling bills.

How Does Siding Improve Energy Efficiency?

First and foremost, your siding provides a certain level of insulation to your home. It acts as the exterior barrier that keeps undesirable temperatures from affecting the residents and belongings inside your home. When your current siding is old or damaged and you delay replacing it, the insulation of your living space will not be as effective as when your siding is in top shape. This can let the conditioned air from inside your home escape and the unwanted hot or cold air from outside seep into your home. Not only can this decrease the comfort level of your residence but also force your heating and cooling systems to work harder and longer to compensate for the energy loss, which, as a result, will cause your energy bills to skyrocket.

How Does Getting New Siding Help?

By replacing your compromised siding, you can nip all those problems in the bud. Invest in insulated siding or a separate siding system and insulators so you can maintain a comfortable and leak-free home all year long, not to mention avoid unnecessary expenses down the line. There are several types of siding you can choose from, and they come in different colors, textures and profiles, presenting the opportunity to create a whole new look for your exterior.
