Want to Save Money This Summer?

Summer is right around the corner! For a lot of people, summer means pool days, BBQ cookouts and plenty of fun outdoor events to partake in. While there are a lot of positive aspects to summer, there is one issue that lurks in the minds of many homeowners: the summer energy bill. With the onslaught of summer heat, many people will be cranking up their air conditioning units for relief. This usually causes spikes in the monthly energy bill for a lot of homeowners. However, it does not have to be that way. For example, investing in solar screen installation can actually save you money! Here’s how!

Solar Screens Reduce the Greenhouse Effect

The Greenhouse Effect happens when sun rays go through glass windows and become trapped inside a space. The trapped rays will then heat up the space. This is what you experience when you get into your car on a hot day. The trapped rays can make an enclosed space unbearably hot and humid. In order to counteract the heat, you will definitely be turning up your AC. Solar screens can help reduce the Greenhouse Effect and can make your home cooler. Solar screens block out up to 80-90% of the sun’s rays. This means that only 20-10% of the sun’s rays will actually be making their way into your home. Since only 20-10% of the sun’s rays will be coming through, you will not feel so hot and you won’t be cranking up the AC constantly. The solar screen can help reduce your electric bill by 30%! Sounds cool, right?

No More Radiant Heat

Radiant heat is the type of heat you feel when standing right next to a window on a hot day. Radiant heat can make the window hot to the touch and can also cause items near the window to become sun damaged due to being directly impacted by the sun’s rays. Being near these spots can become uncomfortable and it can make you feel miserable. In order to feel some relief, you will probably turn up the AC.

With solar screens, radiant heat will be a bother no more. Since solar screens reduce the amount of sun rays that come into your home by 20-10%, areas in your home that were a problem in the past will not be a problem any longer. Along with that, you’ll be saving a lot of money on your energy bill since you won’t be needing to cool the house down so much using your AC. Your Home Will Feel Cooler

Since solar screens can block out over 80-90% of the sun’s rays, this means that your home will be cooler! Upon installing solar screens, some homeowners have reported the temperature in their houses going down by 15-20 degrees Fahrenheit. Imagine how great you would feel if your house was that much cooler! You would also save a lot on your energy bill since you wouldn’t need to rely on your AC so much to keep you cool.
