The heatwaves this summer have been intense. Did you know that an effective and lasting method for beating the heat and keeping your home cool is repairing or replacing your siding? The Excel Home Improvement experts are here with some information on the benefits of a siding replacement or repair for this summer and beyond.
Air Sealing
Siding is your first defense against the elements. Damaged siding leaves gaps that allow heat and moisture to make their way inside, rendering your AC ineffective, and driving up your energy bills. Any moisture that gets under the siding also ends up being trapped, leaving your home more humid. New siding makes sure every door, window, and wall intersection is sealed, no matter the shape and size.
Heat Resistant Siding Materials
When it comes to siding, it’s important to consider more than just the color and installation. The material you choose will also play a part in cooling you down. James Hardie specializes in modern fiber cement siding that will protect your home from the heat. This siding is designed to last through all seasons and weather, including extreme heat. In addition to heat resistance, this siding requires minimal maintenance and a generous warranty, which allows you to spend more time out of the heat and in the AC. Excel Home Improvement has a wealth of experience working with James Hardie siding.
Bonus: Save on Energy Bills
When your siding is working to block heat from entering the home, your HVAC system won’t have to work overtime to cancel out the heat infiltration. This means big savings on energy bills. Properly installed siding also increases the R-value of your home to keep you comfortable while you save.
