Energy Savings

Energy Myth - Energy Saving Windows Save Lots of Money

Energy Saving Windows Not Cost Recooperative

Energy Myth: Energy saving windows save a lot of money. Well, they save you money, but not for a very long while. Purchase cost can be high to replace standard windows with energy-efficient models. They do save energy, but recouping the cost through lower energy bills could take up to 40 years. Less expensive options are caulking, window film , drapes, blinds and awnings.

With U.S. Window Films (in Jacksonville, FL ; New Orleans, LA and Dallas, TX ), we can show you how to save money on your energy costs without the expensive window replacement costs.

Weather Protection with Window Film

Protection from Violent Weather - Hurricane Preparedness

When Mother Nature loses her temper, devastation and loss is sure to follow. Glass is always one of the first casualties during a hurricane, tornado or earthquake. During violent weather when glass breaks, wind, rain and flying debris are given full access to your home or office, causing property damage and destruction.

Security films are Mother Nature’s match. Able to withstand extra ordinary wind and force, security film helps prevent entry of water and wind-borne debris, providing superior protection 24-hours a day. Disasters can strike with little or no warning; security films are always ready.

U.S. Window Films offers a range of choices in security films to help you prepare for hurricane season.

Save Money on Electric Bill without Losing Comfort

2011-01-10T16:00:00Z

According to JEA's brochure, "How to Save Energy and Water" 49% of your household electric bill comes from heating and cooling. Looking further JEA even breaks down how much you air conditioner is costing per hour of usage. A standard central 3 ton unit cost about $.25 per hour. Depending on how long your AC or heater is running those quarters sure add up fast!

One recommended tip is to set your thermostat between 78º - 80º in the summer time and 68º - 70º in the winter. I don't know about you but the idea of trying to relax in a home that is 80º inside sounds miserable.

Why not invest in window film for your home? 3M Window film can result in a 30% reduction of cooling/heating costs per home. Windows are the weakest link between the inside of your home and the great outdoors. Depending on how many you have in your home and how much heat or cold they let in, U.S. Window films can help protect the temperature of your home and those pricey quarters it take to get it there! Maintaining the temperature that you prefer while running the energy hog less often. Now that's sounds like a better idea to me!

Spend money where it counts!

2010-12-21T20:56:00Z

Christmas is so close we can almost touch it! This year has been a tough one for most of us and the giving of gifts may be fewer than what we had hoped for. Although the economy has been in a spiral it seems that our electric bill is in a steady climb. One reason we are paying more is because we are consuming more. We have flooded our homes with electronic devices. We are in the age of technology and the usage of iPods, computer, and gaming devices are on the rise. One way to cut back on your electric bill would be to, don't laugh, TURN OFF everything you are not using. I am sure you can hear your mother screaming this in your head. But she is right. It is good knowledge to know that turning things off is ALWAYS better than leaving them on. The idea that surges in electricity occur when turning on electronic devices is so minute and it does not save you pennies using this strategy. Just watch Myth Busters! Another way to save money and to have more gifts under the tree next year is to invest in 3M Window Films. It has the fastest return on investments than any other energy conservation product. You will spend less money heating and cooling down your home which accounts for 60% of energy consumption if you live in the southern states. Just think with all the money you save you could be buying more gifts! Merry Christmas!
