The media seems to be constantly reporting of fuel and energy cost going up two to three times a year. Home and business owners are constantly trying to find more efficient products and ways to cut electrical costs, and installing frosted window film is one of several solutions. By preventing eighty to ninety-nine percent of the sun’s UV rays from entering a room, you will be dropping the temperature by a modest, but significant percentage. This will prevent your cooling system from having to power up less during the hottest periods of the day, and in turn result in lower electrical costs.
For additional savings, you can install insulated window film that not only reduces heat in the summer but also assists in keeping the treated rooms warm in the winter. Before installing this type of product you will want make assurances that cold or hot air is not leaking from around the window frame itself. Simple caulking can clear up some of the little drafts. Termite damage or water damage may mandate replacing the complete window and frame before forging ahead with your cost cutting project. You may also want to investigate using a spray on insulation to get deep into in interior or exterior cracks and openings of the frame.
The return on investment of such an energy reduction product can come from not only decreasing power bills, but with a little research on your part, you can find rebates, and tax incentives that will possibly repay you more than you initially laid out for your frost window film. Ask your insurance agent if there is a reduction in homeowners insurance for installing film on your windows. This creates an additional barrier of protection during storms or the next-door neighbor’s child hitting a pop fly into your living. The film creates a shatterproof barrier much like that of safety glass that is used in automobiles today.
Check on the product packaging for warranty information, as most reputable producers of frosted window films will supply a lifetime warranty, or as long as you own your home. Be sure and fill out any registration or warranty cards that come with the film and mail it in immediately to start their coverage policy. Except for physical damage to the window film, the manufacturer will cover any failure that occur by replacing the complete window treatment, but will not afford any labor costs.
The return on investment will be evident in just a few months or over a period of a few years depending on the weather patterns in your local. You should make note of your power bills in the months after the installation to gauge their cost cutting effectiveness.
Utilizing the film and standard drapery will further cool your home to prevent air conditioner cycling during peak periods. Business owners with floor to ceiling windows in their store front will greatly benefit with this cost cutting effort, and will also give their showroom an appealing professional look that will make customers feel more at ease while doing business in their shop.
