With the simple installation of energy efficient window film, Kansas City residents of all kinds can see something they probably never thought they would ever see: a reduction in heating and cooling costs.
Many people believe the only way to ever reduce energy costs would be to incur the major expense of solar panels, or to build a log cabin in the woods somewhere and get off the grid altogether. We are delighted to tell you that there is another way. With energy efficient window film, Kansas City windows become much more thermally efficient, which will filter down to your energy bills in the most pleasing way you can ever imagine.
Most people are not really aware that a significant amount of a home’s heat in winter is lost through the windows. They might be old and drafty, or they might simply have single paned regular glass that does not do a good job of keeping in the heat. After the installation of energy saving or energy efficient window film, Kansas City homes will stay warmer and more comfortable all winter long. Without losing the heat through the windows. This means that whatever heat your furnace puts out will stay indoors where it belongs. Your furnace will not have to work anywhere near as hard to keep your home to the temperature you’ve set your thermostat at. And that saves you money, all winter long.
Now, what happens in the summer? Kind of the opposite. The Kansas City sun beats down on your home and through your windows, causing what is known as “heat gain” from the sun. If you’ve ever touched the glass in one of your windows on a hot summer day when the sun is hitting it directly, you know how much heat that glass absorbs. And transmits into your home, hour after hour, all summer long. Your air conditioning has quite the task keeping up, doesn’t it. But with the exact same product, the exact same energy efficient window film, Kansas City homes beat the heat , as a significant portion of the sun’s thermal energy is reflected away from the windows instead of being absorbed by the windows. The result? Your home stays much cooler and if you do need your air conditioner, you’ll need a fair amount less of it.
In fact, with some of our energy efficient window film clients, they report barely needing their air conditioning at all. Again, saving you money, summer after summer, year after year. The energy bill savings are impressive!
