4 Tips to Lower Your Summer Energy Bills
Summer and early fall months can bring sunshine and hot weather to your South Carolina home. However, these hot and humid months can also bring with them high energy bills that will make your wallet feel the burn. While the rising temperatures and increased energy bills can make you feel like panicking, your friendly neighborhood window treatment experts at Blinds and Us Inc. in Seneca and Greenville can help.
With plenty of experience under our belts, we’ve been helping South Carolina residents save big on their summer energy bills for years. Our team has the know-how and expertise to help you cut down on your cooling costs during the summer with energy efficient shades that look as good as they perform.
Use Energy Efficient Shades on Your Windows
Having uncovered windows in your home can cost you big at the end of the month. Uncovered windows can account for an energy loss of up to 30% in your home, making your home extremely inefficient when it comes to using energy. These uncovered windows allow heat to enter your home while letting air conditioning escape. This can lead to uncomfortable temperatures in your home as well as a rising energy bill at month’s end.
Thankfully, Hunter Douglas offers a wide range of energy efficient shades that you can choose from. From Vignette® Roman Shades to Duette® Cellular Shades, these attractive and practical window treatments can complement your interior design as well as help improve how cool the interior of your home stays during summer and early fall.
Insulate Your Home with Cellular Shades
One of the top options for energy efficiency from Hunter Douglas is the Duette® Cellular Shades. You may be asking yourself, “What are cellular shades?” Featuring a unique honeycomb design, these window treatments are designed with a cellular construction to trap air inside special pockets, which helps create insulation that keeps your home at a more consistent temperature.
Total Coverage Provides Better Energy Efficiency
In order to get the maximum benefit from energy efficient shades, it’s important to try to have them on all the glass features in your home, including windows, skylights, and glass doors. At Blinds and Us Inc. Seneca and Greenville, we can customize window treatments such as cellular shades to fit any size or shape window you have. Since these window treatments will be custom-fitted to each individual window to the exact measurement, you can get better insulation and energy efficiency from them.
Get Better Energy Efficiency with Automation
Having your window treatments automated can help you get an even more energy efficient home. Many energy efficient shades, blinds, and shutters have automated features that you can add on at the time of purchase. Control options such as Powerview® Automation allow you to control your window treatments through an app, remote, or smart-home system.
Equipping your Hunter Douglas window treatments with smart technology like Powerview® Automation allows you to put your shades, shutters, or blinds on a schedule. Doing so will give you the option of having them shut completely during the hottest times of the day, even when you’re not home, making your home more energy efficient and helping you save on your bill at the end of the month.
For example, Duette Cellular Shades are available with multiple custom options, including:
- Top-down Bottom-up System: Allowing cellular shades to open from the bottom up like traditional window shades or the top-down for additional control and flexibility.
- Duolite®: Adding a back shade onto a cellular shade for a single treatment that has both light filtering and room-darkening capabilities.
- LightLock®: To transform cellular shades into blackout shades with innovative u-shaped tracks along the treatment’s vertically oriented sides that block light leaks.
