As a homeowner here in Salt Lake City, one of your main home issues is probably the cost of heating and cooling. Although this city is relatively temperate we do get highs and lows that can be extreme that drive up utility costs. Here at Greenlight Window Films, we get a lot of homeowners coming to us looking for ways to reduce energy expenses through window film. Usually, they come to us through a reference from a friend or family member who has seen the savings power of window films and tints for themselves but some people come in skeptical. Before he started our company our owners, Martin Faith, was skeptical too. However, once he installed window film on his own home and saw results–he was convinced. So convinced, in fact, that he started our company 12 years ago. To understand for yourself how your Salt Lake City home will save money with window film, read below and see how it works.
How Does Window Film Work to Save Money?
Window film works to save on utility costs is many ways. It works across several vectors to make your Salt Lake City home more energy-efficient. Which in turn lowers utility bills. Some homeowners are concerned these films will change the appearance of their windows but films range from fully opaque to tinted to perfectly clear. So the choice is yours. The most common way window film saves on energy bills is through installation. The amount of insulation a film gives varies from product to product but a good rule of thumb is–on single-pane windows you get the same insulation as double pane windows. Energy-efficient films go beyond insulation and are specifically designed to reflect, redirect and/or absorb the intense rays of the Salt Lake City sun. The best films for lowering solar heat gain are typically the higher-end ceramic ones. But, it really depends on several factors. Some of our clients love daylight redirecting films which stop glare and solar heat gain but redirect sunlight further into rooms and reduce lighting cost as well. When it comes down to it, the energy-efficient film that is right for your home depends on your needs and personal preference. To that end, having a seasoned professional consult with you is key to getting the most out of your home window tint or film.
