Lower Energy Bills

Siding is like your home’s winter coat, umbrella, and sunscreen all in one. The more energy-efficient your siding, the more energy-efficient your home. Insulated siding works to prevent heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Because of this, your home’s indoor temperature will remain more moderate and require less heating and cooling. Subsequently, your energy bills will be lower, saving you money month after month. As a bonus, you’ll also be reducing the wear and tear on your HVAC system.

Easier Maintenance

Energy-efficient vinyl, steel, brick, and stone siding are all long lasting and easy to maintain. They’re durable and aren’t susceptible to rot, termite damage, or rust. Easy to clean and strong enough to endure whatever mother nature throws its way, energy-efficient siding is the perfect way to protect your home, regardless of where you reside. A quick spray-down with the garden hose is all you’ll need to keep your siding looking superb.

More “Green”

Of course, you’re already becoming more eco-friendly by reducing your HVAC usage, but there’s another “green” aspect of energy-efficient siding. Because you’re selecting long-lasting materials, you’ll also be reducing the amount of waste your household produces. On top of that, many materials like brick, stone, steel, and even modern vinyl are sustainable and can be recycled. When you choose one of these energy-efficient materials, you’re making a sensible decision for you and the environment.
