How Motorized Shades Benefit Your Power Bill

Automated window treatments are an energy-friendly home addition in several ways. The best part is that you don't have to put in much effort into automating and operating your shades, lightening your energy burden overnight—literally.

Automated Control

Automating your motorized shades to open and close at specific times during the day based on the amount of sunlight in the room can help regulate the temperatures in your home and reduce the need for heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. For example, when your window coverings block out the sun during the hottest part of the day, you prevent the room from overheating. The concept is simple but effective, and you don’t have to lift a finger! 

Insulation

Most Custom Media clients are surprised to hear that they can choose shades made from materials that offer better insulation—such as honeycomb fabrics or solar properties—helping to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the day. Again, this will reduce the demand placed on your HVAC system and increase your home's energy efficiency. You can discuss fabrics and options with your installer in detail.

Energy Savings

Because you can program your shades to adjust automatically to the amount of light entering the room, you reduce the need for artificial lighting during the daytime. Right away, this will lower your energy bills and cut back on your environmental impact. With just the push of a button or two, you're already on your way to being conscious regarding the energy you use, and you'll see the reflection in your monthly bill!
