Everyone is looking to save a few bucks here and there, but not many people are aware that they walk by big money-saving opportunities every time they pass by their entry doors and replacement windows in their Sacramento, CA<\/a> homes.<\/p>\n

A common culprit of wasted energy, and therefore wasted money, is hidden air leaks around your exterior doors during the winter and summer months alike. Whether normal wear and tear have taken a toll on your doors, or if they were never airtight to begin with, a leaky door can be a huge money and energy suck.<\/p>\n

Leaks easily occur at the weakest points of contact, as people with older homes can tell you. New homeowners shouldn\u2019t let their guards down, though, as new doors can develop leaks pretty quickly, especially when you\u2019re moving in and an oversized piece of furniture hits against the framing or scrape against the threshold, or if you have indoor pets that always scratch at the same spot when it is time to go outside.<\/p>\n

Any fiberglass entry door<\/a> will break down after months of abuse, leaving a tiny but very expensive leak in your home. Are you wondering if your doors are leaky? Use these techniques to find out:<\/p>\n
