If you live in the US, prepare to pay up to 17% more for utilities this winter. The reason behind this sudden increase? Blame it on colder-than-average temperatures and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has also caused price hikes. No place is safe from these rises, but there are some things homeowners can do to lessen the burden. For example, one great and affordable option is window film; an investment that pays off in as little as three years because of all the ways it saves money (e.g., lowered heating/cooling bills).

How Window Film Saves Money

The architectural window films we use on homes in San Diego are made from PET. Depending on the function, it is sometimes embedded with materials like ceramics. However, it typically goes unseen and does things like block UV rays or glare–but its best quality is saving San Diego homeowners money.

Window Film Keeps Heat Inside In Winter

Did you know that around 30% of the energy used to heat San Diego homes in winter is wasted through windows? That means homeowners in cities are paying a third of their monthly bill on energy they’re not even using! Window film can help reduce the amount of heated air that escapes from home windows, resulting in lower energy bills.

Window Film is Less Expensive Than Window Replacement

While replacing your windows will help to reduce the amount of heat that escapes, it is a very costly venture. Window film provides just as many benefits, if not more, and costs a fraction of the price. Additionally, the ROI for window tinting is only about three years as opposed to ten years for new windows.

Window Film Protects Hardwood Floors, Furniture, and Upholstery From Sun Damage 

Not only are home furnishings, carpets, and hardwood floors expensive, but they’re also susceptible to damage from the UV rays of the sun–which makes up for around 40-60% of total damage to furniture. Window tints help shield these rays so that you won’t have to constantly replace your belongings every few years.
