We sat down with Jason Meadows of Meadows Garage Doors to discuss two ways homeowners can make their garages more comfortable during the summer: insulation and weather stripping. Energy Savings by the NumbersOne of the best protections from the summer heat is proper garage door insulation. “An insulated garage door can reduce energy costs by about 20%,” said Meadows. Besides keeping your garage cooler and clear of unwanted pests, insulation and weather stripping are great upgrades to enhance the overall livability of your garage spaces. Meadows Garage Doors can evaluate the existing door and recommend upgrades for year-round comfort.
