Save Energy with the Right Window Treatments
Energy efficiency is good for you, and it’s good for the planet. In the U.S. alone, the Department of Energy (DOE) reports that windows can account for up to 25% of your annual heating and cooling bill and a staggering 40% in older homes. The right energy-efficient window treatment can certainly help lower your utility bill.
There are a lot of factors that contribute to energy efficiency at the window, including which direction your windows face, how much direct sunlight they get, insulation, solar heat control, and more. Hunter Douglas is the world leader in innovation and the developer of the most energy-efficient window treatments that significantly reduce energy loss and also protect the environment. It’s a win-win — keep your family comfortable while saving on heating and cooling costs!
