Reducing Energy Bills with Automated Shades
With another year coming to a close, you might be reflecting on the past to better prepare for the future. For example, let’s say you are reviewing your finances and notice that a good chunk of your income is going to your home’s energy bills. While you don’t want to endure a stifling house in the summer and freezing home in the winter, you also don’t want to keep using an exorbitant amount of energy and dealing with sky-high energy bills! Fortunately, reducing energy bills with automated shades is a fine route to explore if you are ready to keep your home comfortable without the high bills. Read on to discover the many benefits of PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas below.
An Introduction to Automation
If you are not familiar with automated shades, allow us to introduce you to this amazing piece of technology! PowerView® Automation is a sleek device that lets you achieve your exact amounts of light, shade, and privacythroughout the day via yoursmart phone or tablet, Pebble® Remote, or even your voice when you set it up with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri. Once set up, PowerView® Automationwill adjust your shades based on your preferences without you lifting a finger. PowerView® Automation also works even if you are not in the home, which is perfect for those who forgot to shut their shades before heading to work or home for the holidays.
How Automated Shades Reduce Energy Usage
Let’s dive into the stuff you came here for! Did you know that the main culprit of home energy loss is poorly insulated windows? This is why that one room in your home is drafty in the winter despite you cranking up the heat. In fact, up to 30 percent of our home’s energy loss is through our windows. If your home has multiple or wide windows, you might feel the wrath of this problem in the form of high energy bills.
This is where PowerView® Automation saves the day. Ever innovative, PowerView® Automation can detect drops or increases in temperature within your home. As a result, PowerView® Automation will raise or lower your shades to keep the hot sun from heating up your home or frigid winter wind from seeping through. This allows your home to have added insulation when it needs it most so you can walk into a home that is comfortable throughout the year–no need to crank up the thermostat or AC.
