Temperature Control

As the cooler months approach, it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to keep your home comfortable through the winter. Did you know that the same window film that keeps your home cool in the summer also keeps it warm when it’s cold outside? Carolina Solar Security offers All Season Window Film, which benefits you year round. If you’re wondering how a single film can do it all, let’s take a look at how 3M’s All Season Window Film works.

Cool in the Summer

About 28% of cooling expenses come from solar heat gain through windows. All Season Window Film keeps your home cool in the summer because of its high heat rejection properties. After we install window film in your home, your HVAC system runs more efficiently, because the film rejects up to 79% of the sun’s heat. Your HVAC maintenance costs also decrease in the long run since they don’t have to work as hard to keep your space cool.

Warm in the Winter

Many coastal homes have huge, beautiful windows boasting expansive views of the ocean or sound. Unfortunately, those regal windows lose up to twenty times as much heat as an adjacent wall of the same square footage. All Season Window Film insulates your windows to keep warmth inside your home during the colder months, while allowing you to maintain — and even enhance — your view.

At Carolina Solar Security, we realized that most people don’t understand that they will reap the benefits of window film year round when they come to us for help with problems like hot spots, UV damage, and glare. Window film does in fact solve these problems, but it also provides insulation in the cooler months.

As a homeowner or business owner, do your monthly energy bills repeatedly shock you? How could it cost that much to keep your space at a comfortable temperature? Even new construction homes and commercial buildings with tightly sealed windows transmit outrageous amounts of heat from the sun. Before you turn off your AC and resolve to simply sweat through the summer to save money, consider this little-known solution: energy saving window film.

How Does Energy Saving Window Film Work?

Energy saving window film reduces interior temperatures in areas of direct sunlight by up to 9 degrees by rejecting 97% of the sun’s infrared light. Additionally, window films block up to 99.9% of damaging UV rays.

In a study by the Department of Energy, window film ranked as a top-tier technology for energy savings. While many people jump to replace their HVAC unit to bring about improved comfort for their families or building occupants, you should first consider window tinting. Installing window film reduces the size of the equipment required to cool your space, so even if you do end up needing a new HVAC system, you won’t need one that guzzles as much energy.

How Much Energy Does Window Tinting Save?

Homeowners and business owners realize energy savings with window tinting of up to 15%. With energy costs typically accounting for around 30% of operating expenses in commercial spaces, the savings are significant. Business owners can expect a return on their investment in as little as two to three years.

In the summer months, energy saving window film reduces solar heat gain by approximately 79%. Each square foot of window film installed saves between $1 and $2 or 19 kWh. In other words, the more or larger the windows, the greater the savings.
