Avoiding Winter Window Woes: How to Make Your Energy Bills Less ‘Pane’-ful

By Window Treats

blinds for windowsWinter is on its way, which makes many families worry about how high their energy bills might climb in the coming months. While there are a lot of things you can do to cut down on unnecessary energy use and make the most of what you’ve got, there’s arguably no better way to accomplish both goals than to focus on your windows. In today’s post, we’ll discuss some top tips for keeping your energy bills low with just a few simple changes to your routine and to your home.

Opt For Efficiency

You probably already know that energy-efficient appliances can help you save in several ways. Not only will they make it easier to go green, but they’ll also keep more green in your pocket once the bill arrives. The same principle applies with your home’s windows. Energy efficient windows and even storm windows can help keep the warm air in and the cold air out, particularly if you’re living in an older home that’s prone to draftiness. If you can’t commit to replacing all of your existing windows, you may want to opt for sealing any cracks or replacing the oldest and most worn-out in the bunch.

Change Up Your Habits

In winter, you’ll want to do everything you can to work with your HVAC system and the natural light, rather than against them. That may mean being a bit more diligent about when you open your blinds for windows and when you close them, especially as the days get shorter. South-facing window shades should be kept open during the day and should be closed at night. Of course, there are easier ways to accomplish this — but we’ll expand on that in a bit.

‘Treat’ Yourself

According to the Attachments Energy Rating Council, window attachments (including window treatments) can improve the performance of your windows and reduce your household’s energy use by up to 13%. That’s no small feat, particularly if you’re spending a lot to keep your home comfortable in winter. Your shades, draperies, and blinds for windows should fit tightly, which means you may want to investigate custom options to ensure they’re sized correctly. You may also want to explore thermal window treatments to boost your energy-saving efforts even more.

Get Your Motor Running

Finally, why not take the guesswork out of energy efficiency by opting for motorized window shades? It’s a far easier way to make certain you’re taking full advantage of daylight hours and don’t forget to shut your blinds once it gets dark in the evenings. With motorized blinds for windows, you’ll automatically make your home consistently comfortable and can save some money on your heating bills. What more could you possibly ask for this winter?
