Tired of dealing with high energy costs? You’re not alone. Studies show that the average monthly utility bill for a 915 sq ft apartment in Dallas is about $130. For three or four bedroom homes, this number can easily be doubled or tripled. Especially during the summer when temperatures reach well into the high 90’s.
Fortunately, in recent years, architects have found a way to work around this issue. It turns out that energy saving window film can make Dallas homes far more energy efficient. Window film reduces annual energy consumption by up to 30%, providing a full ROI in three years on average. You may be wondering, what does that look like in terms of monthly energy costs? Well, this case study reveals it all.
Case Study: Energy Saving Film Saves the Day
Our story begins in Denver, Colorado with a man named Martin Faith. You may also know him as the owner of Scottish Window Tinting (the company that recently took over Green Light Window Films). Martin began noticing issues with his energy bill in 2007. No matter what he did (turning off the lights, using ceiling fans, etc), his home energy bill seemed to always get way out of control during the summer. During peak months, he would spend over $250 per month on energy costs.
Attempt #1
Martin knew something had to be done. So he deciding to try replacing his windows with energy efficient ones. The new windows would be expensive, but perhaps they would be worth it. Unfortunately, the replacement windows didn’t work as effectively as hoped. The following summer, his energy bill dropped from $269 per month to $216 per month. Less, but still expensive.
Attempt #2
Deciding to take matters further, Martin did a bit of research and came across window film. He decided to give it a shot. He contacted his local window film contractor and had a Vista solar control window film installed on his home. Immediately, Martin was amazed by the results. His home was cooler, it was more comfortable, and his energy bill dropped dramatically. The next summer was hot as ever, but inside Martin’s home, it was cool and his energy bill revealed that. The total cost for the month of August was only $83, an amazing transformation.
It’s clear to see that from this case study, window film can have a major effect only monthly energy bills. Especially for warm climates, like Dallas, energy saving window film can be very useful.
