It's common for homeowners to overwork their air conditioners when the summer heat peaks. However, this can rack up your energy bills and, in some cases, lead to your HVAC equipment wearing down.
A more efficient solution is to install window sunscreens to block some of amount of sunlight entering the windows. This can reduce your energy bills, make your home cooler, and save you the cost of fixing the air conditioner. Installing a sunscreen outside your windows is a no-brainer because of several reasons we'll explore below. Lower Energy BillEnergy bills tend to run very high in the summer and burn a hole in your wallet. This is because the air conditioner faces an uphill battle as it tries to regulate the temperature indoors. The only problem is that the windows in your home act as a convenient heat exchanger - allowing too much heat from the outside to enter in. A window sunscreen can put a stop to this by blocking out as much as 50% of external heat. This makes your home considerably cooler in the summer during the day and the temperature stays comfortable throughout the night. Your air conditioner doesn't have to work nearly as hard to keep the rooms at their desired temperature. Increased privacy Window sunscreens give you complete control over the privacy of your rooms, keeping unwanted attention at bay - whether during the day or at night. Sunscreens also provide a layer of security that is great to have when you're going on those weekend trips, including the occasional out-of-town vacation. Protection from UV Radiation The constant bombardment of UV radiation from the sun is one of the main causes of skin cancer in humans. Besides causing sunburn, UV radiation can accelerate the precursors of aging, cause damage to the eye, and lead to skin tanning. Window sunscreens can prevent UV radiation from entering your home. This can protect your health and also prevent damage done to surfaces directly exposed to the radiation including drapes, furniture, and rugs. Durable and Long LastingHigh quality window sunscreens are made to last for several years. This ensures your investment is protected regardless of the wear and tear. Fit Any Type of Window Worried that your home has non-standard windows? That's not really a problem. New types of sunscreens can be designed to fit any window. There are expert technicians that measure the dimensions of your window and provide custom sunscreens for your home. Lower Outside NoiseInstalling sunscreens can go a long way in reducing the level of noise that enters your property from the outside, helping you block out noisy neighbors or busy traffic that may create disturbances throughout the house. Increase Your Property ValueWith such a long list of benefits, it comes as no surprise that window sunscreens are a popular choice for many homeowners. One additional feature is that it increases the value of your home, which is why many people consider sunscreens an investment that protects their home's value as well as their comfort. If you live on a busy road or somewhere where there is plenty of foot traffic outside your windows, sunscreens might be the perfect solution for ensuring your privacy.
