New siding can help make your home more energy-efficient. Siding can provide an extra layer of insulation, which can help reduce heating and cooling costs. Many siding products are Energy Star certified, which meets strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

​

• Improved Insulation: Modern siding materials have built-in insulation or an additional insulating layer can be added. This creates a thermal barrier, reducing heat transfer between the interior & exterior of your home. 

• Reduced Air Leaks: High-quality siding can help seal gaps and cracks in your home's exterior when properly installed. This minimizes air leakage, often leading to energy loss and increased utility bills. 

• Energy Savings: With better insulation and reduced air leaks, your home becomes more energy-efficient overall. You may notice lower heating and cooling costs throughout the year, especially in extreme weather conditions, as the siding helps maintain a more stable indoor climate.

• Environmental Benefits: Energy-efficient siding benefits your wallet and contributes to a smaller carbon footprint. Reducing your home's energy consumption indirectly lowers greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity generation.

• Longevity and Low Maintenance: Some siding materials, like vinyl and fiber cement, are known for their durability and low maintenance requirements. When your siding lasts longer and stays in good condition, there is less need for frequent replacements, which helps reduce the environmental impact of siding production and disposal.

• Enhanced Reflectivity: Certain siding materials and colors have high solar reflectance, reflecting a significant amount of the sun's heat away from your home. This is especially valuable in hot climates, as it can reduce cooling needs and energy usage during summer.

• Green Building Certifications: Investing in energy-efficient siding may contribute to achieving green building certifications, such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), which can increase your home's resale value and appeal to eco-conscious buyers.
