The Benefits of Energy-Efficient Siding in Maryland

Siding on a home — Energy-efficient siding helps Maryland homeowners reduce energy costs and maximize rebates.

Energy-efficient siding can reduce energy consumption by up to 15%, leading to annual savings of $200 to $500 on utility bills, depending on the home’s size and insulation. These improvements also boost home resale value by up to 10%, as buyers increasingly prioritize energy-efficient features.

What Makes Siding Energy-Efficient

Energy-efficient siding uses materials like insulated vinyl, fiber cement, and composite, which have high R-values—indicating superior resistance to heat flow and better insulation. Many options also have reflective coatings to reduce heat absorption, stabilize indoor temperatures, and reduce air conditioning use.
