Homeowners looking to save on rising energy bills can start right at the front door. That's the advice of experts at Therma-Tru Corp. during Door Do-Over Week(August 3-9, 2014) who suggest evaluating the main entry door at least once a year to determine the status of the door's operational capabilities and energy efficiency features.
"Every component of a home needs to be replaced at some point over time," says Brad Johnson, vice president of marketing for Therma-Tru Corp. "Most homeowners can get years of service out of their front door, but there will come a time when a door needs to be replaced. That's why it's important to annually evaluate and maintain your main entryway."
According to Johnson, there are several easy ways homeowners can determine when it's time to consider a front door replacement.
Tip #1 - Open and close doors in the home, on both dry and wet, humid days. Make sure all the components operate smoothly. If the door doesn't close securely or fits tightly on humid days, then its most likely leaking air on dry days, causing the home to lose energy.
Tip #2 - Inspect the weather stripping around all sides of the front door to make sure it has not worn out. On a bright day, stand inside near the door and look for daylight flowing through the door perimeter. If light is coming in, then so most likely, is external air and possibly moisture. That means its time to determine if the foam-filled weatherstripping may have lost some of its compression, cracked or simply worn out.
Tip #3 - Examine the locks to make sure they operate smoothly and are strong enough to help protect the home. Multi-point locking systems, like those that can be requested on Therma-Tru doors, offer exceptional peace-of-mind and security for the home.
Tip #4 - Reach out and touch the door on both hot and cold days. If you feel the exterior temperatures on the inside surface, then the door may not have adequate insulation. In this situation, consider upgrading the door with a replacement that is more energy efficient and has an ENERGY STAR qualified rating for your geographic area. Order a multi-point locking system on a new door for a tighter fit against the weatherstripping, which can help provide even greater energy savings.
Tip #5 - Look at the appearance of the door. If it's a wood door, it may be warping or rotting after years of service. A steel door can get dinged and rust over time. And, it's possible that the style of the door simply doesn't match up with the design of the home. These are all red flags that it's time to replace a front door.

The Vic health minister is set to announce a ban on smoking at outdoor dining and hospitality venues as well as at entrances to public buildings.
Smoking will be banned in outdoor eating areas in Victoria but not before the next election.
Health Minister David Davis said the government wants to prevent smokers lighting up in alfresco dining venues but it needs to consult with the industry to determine the details of the ban.
He could not say when the changes would come into effect or what it would mean for outdoor drinking areas.
The laws will not be changed before the November 29 election, but Mr Davis said legislation will "certainly" be introduced in the next term of government.
"It will apply to areas where there's dining and the matters around drinking will be worked out steadily in this process," Mr Davis told reporters on Monday.
The Cancer Council said workers in outdoor hospitality areas are entitled to an environment free of smoke.
The Australian Medical Association (AMA) urged the government to act quickly and ensure the ban applies to anywhere food or drinks are served.
"This smoking ban needs to apply to all Victorian outdoor dining areas, including bars that do not serve food," AMA Victorian president Tony Bartone said.
He said Victoria's tobacco act states tobacco is so injurious to health as to warrant restrictive legislation.

On the tour, these plants will be highlighted so that visitors can see what a bareroot can turn into.
Michael Nerrie will lead the tour and discuss how Distant Hill Gardens has approached using the annual CCCD Plant Sale as an affordable way to develop the landscape.
You can register by contacting the CCCD at 756-2988 ext.115 or sharlene@cheshireconservation.org

Wheat farmer Ian Turnbull ambushed Glen Turner on a public road and opened fire while the environment compliance officer was inspecting an unrelated site, police will allege.
Mr Turner was not on the Turnbull family's properties and was not serving a notice for illegal land clearing when he was allegedly shot several times, throwing serious doubt on claims by Mr Turnbull's family that the 79-year-old farmer had been pushed to the edge by repeated harassment.
Detective Inspector Gavin Rattenbury said police will allege Mr Turner and a colleague from the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) were carrying out unrelated duties on the side of Talga Lane, near Moree, last Tuesday evening when Mr Turnbull allegedly pulled up beside them, armed himself with a rifle and opened fire.

A bullet in the back killed Mr Turner but it is understood that more than one shot hit the 51-year-old father-of-two. Mr Turnbull then drove home, where he was arrested four hours later.

After several reports last week that the OEH workers had arrived, unannounced, on Mr Turnbull's Croppa Creek property to serve a notice for illegal vegetation clearing, his family painted a picture of an elderly man constantly targetedby an aggressive government about clearing his land.
The incident generated widespread debate on native vegetation legislation, and came after years of mounting tension between farmers, environmentalists and governments about landowners' rights to clear vegetation for cropping.
Moree Plains Shire Council mayor Katrina Humphries said violence was "always going to happen". Federal Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce said: You have this crazy situation where you dont own the vegetation on your land, the state government does, and many people have had enough."
