DRESSING WINDOWS RIGHT CAN DRASTICALLY CUT ENERGY BILLS
March 18, 2008 Corona CA - As Strapped Homeowners Struggle To Stay Warm at a Time of Sky Rocketing Energy Bills, New Window Treatments Can Mean Big Savings
In a winter notable for dropping temperatures, climbing energy prices and a shaky economy, any amount of utility savings can be a big boost for struggling homeowners. Most consumers know to turn down the heat when no one is at home and keep lights off in un-used rooms, but they may be neglecting one of the most cost cutting factors of all - their window shades and curtains!
“Just as you would put on a coat when it starts to get cold, you also need to take care to dress your house for the weather,” said Anna Gould, Director of Merchandising for ShopBlinds.com, an online company specializing in window treatments. “The right window blinds can really go a long way towards keeping the cold air out, which translates into huge savings.” All custom window coverings, blinds, shades, panels and drapery – insulate better because they fit your windows better. Honeycomb or cellular shades in particular, have a unique hexagonal cell design that creates a substantial insulating barrier against the cold.
Windows are typically the weakest point in any home in retaining heat. Older or ill-fitted windows can leak in cold air causing heating systems to work harder to keep the house warm. According to SmartEnergyLiving.org, inefficient windows can add a 10 – 25% cost increase to heating bills. Treatments such as honeycomb cellular shades can block up to 62% of heat transfer through the window pane according to SmartEnergyLiving.org. Such savings are more necessary than ever in a year headlined by record mortgage defaults and deep worries of a nationwide recession. Homeowners especially are feeling the crunch as home prices continue to fall and oil prices hover at record highs.
“Every little bit of saving helps,” advises Anna Gould of ShopBlinds.com. “Don’t overlook the importance of your window shades, or your money will literally be flying out the window!”
