Blinds Make Good Cents

The average home owner will spend about 3000 dollars each year on utility bills for their home.

Of this amount about the greatest portion will be gas or electric from heating and air conditioning.

About 45% will go to supply the cool air in summer and warmth in winter.

In addition to privacy, window light control and decorative qualities, cellular shades will help you save money on your home heating and cooling costs.

This number might be lessened were not about 25% of what you paid for draining out of your house through window panes and door openings.

Furnace and air conditioning loss will use more energy and drain more of your household finances than any other system in your house or apartment.

More than a quarter of it is out the window so to speak, as it is lost through those areas previously spoken of.

During the summer months, one window left to pour sun into your home will cause your air conditioner to work nearly three times as hard if you live in a traditional home, and about five times as hard if you live in metal housing such as a modular home or pre-manufactured housing.

The installation of traditional vinyl blinds can save you as much as ten percent on your heating and air conditioning bills, if you make certain other changes such as insulation around doorways and window sills.

The installation of cellular shades can reduce your energy bill by as much as 40% over a period of just a few months.

If you think that you are seeing entirely too much of your hard earned money going toward the utility bills, or in short, seeing too much of your household funds headed straight out the window, perhaps you should explore what you could save with the installation of some quality window blinds.
