If you’re tired of dealing with an expensive energy bill, a thin piece of rubber known as weatherstripping might just be the solution. Because your garage door accounts for such a large opening of your home, a poorly insulated garage can negatively affect the temperature in your home and make your air conditioner work even harder to keep things cool.
If installing a new garage door and insulating your garage is out of your budget, replacing your garage door weatherstripping can help. Check the bottom of your garage door. You should see a thin strip of rubber which is known as weatherstripping. This strip helps keep your garage cool but it can wear out quickly. If you’re interested in DIY garage door repair, you can purchase weatherstripping at your local hardware store and replace it yourself. If you’re not handy, most garage door repair technicians will install weatherstripping for you.
