Warmer weather will soon be upon us in San Diego. Finally, we can say goodbye to the cold days of winter and get back to enjoying the kind of weather that California is famous for – warm days and sunny skies! Since temps will soon be rising, now is a good time to consider energy efficient window film for your San Diego home. Below, we’ve discussed some of the different types of  window film you can use to reduce your home energy costs.

 

Window Film vs. New Windows for Energy Efficiency

All too often, homeowners make the mistake of thinking the only way to improve the energy efficiency of their home is by installing new windows. It’s true that windows are often the culprit behind energy loss. But that doesn’t mean you have to throw out your existing windows and pay extraordinary amounts of cash for new ones.

You can simply retrofit your windows with energy efficient window film. Energy efficient window film helps San Diego homeowners save by improving window performance. It prevents too much heat from entering or leaving your home, so your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard. This way, you save money on electricity each month.

 

3 Types of Energy Efficient Window Film for Your Home

There are many different types of window films that homeowners can choose from today. Some are clear while others are tinted or reflective. Some are designed to reject heat during the summer while others can be used for year-round climate control. Here are three popular options:

  • Low-E: These window films use low-emissivity technology to control heat transfer year round. They keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
  • Spectrally Selective: Spectrally selective films filter out infrared heat, which is the number one cause for excess heat gain.
  • Nanoceramic: These window films use tiny ceramic particles to reject heat so that you don’t have to resort to dark dyed or tinted film.
