Air conditioning and heating are the usual culprits for most of the energy-consumption in your bills. By choosing the right type of window and best shading options you can noticeably reduce your bills. Take a look at the ways that choosing the right window and window coverings can help you lower your bills.
Your Window Options to Reduce the Electric Bill
Energy-Efficient Windows
It’s easier to find more energy efficient options for windows today. Some windows are tinted and help keep out the sun. Tinted windows create a barrier between your home’s interior and the sun’s solar energy that heats your home. Other options have a clear film coating that helps the glass be more energy-efficient. This type of energy-efficient technology is done by using double or triple glazing in windows. This type of glazing incorporates coated glass prevents heat from escaping through the windows and has low-emissivity. Glass like this is highly thermally insulating and will help save money and reduce your heating bills.
Sunshades for Efficiency
There are many curtain options for your windows, but not all will help keep your home cool, or keep it warm. Energy saving shades will save you money on your heating bills in the winter and your utility bills in the hot summer. Sunshades and sunscreens are the preferred option to use as window coverings in energy-efficiency. These provide excellent insulation by stopping hot and cold transfer through glass.
