Privacy shades, blinds and curtains are more useful than you might think when it comes to conserving energy.
Get Started
During our hot summers, give your fans and air conditioning (AC) unit a break by keeping your blinds closed during the day. You’ll keep the sun’s rays out and the AC from running too much. In the winter, if you have south-facing windows, let the light shine in. The sun will help heat your home naturally, which takes some pressure off your furnace. For other windows, keep blinds and curtains close during the winter to keep heat inside your home.
