Here in the Las Vegas area, the sun can get pretty intense at certain times of the day. The result of the bright sun is not only warmer winter temperatures but the glare on windows too. Most people are well aware that glare is annoying. However, what most people do not realize is, glare is also costing them money in several ways. Read below to understand how this is happening and how glare-reducing window film in your Las Vegas home will help.
3 Ways Glare is Costing You Money in Las Vegas Home
Solar Heat Gain Transfer Through Windows
The most obvious way that glare is cutting into your monthly budget is with solar heat gain transfer through your windows. When this occurs it takes significantly more cooled air to keep temperatures down. The result is a much higher utility bill each month and also less predictable energy spending. Glare reducing window film greatly reduces solar heat gain on windows, conserving energy and saving you money.
Increased HVAC Repairs
Repairs to your Las Vegas home’s heating and cooling systems are expensive! This is why you want them to run as efficiently as possible. Whether in winter or in summer, glare on windows causes your HVAC to turn off and on constantly which causes unnecessary wear and tear. Since glare control window film prevents excess heat from radiating through the glass of your windows, it preserves heating and cooling systems, lowering the likelihood of expensive repairs.
Lower Productivity
Whether you work from home or not, time is money. Glare is one of the biggest productivity killers in homes and offices in Las Vegas and most others. Not only does it distract you, it obscures your views of your computer screen which slows down your progress on any task: paying bills, sending out emails, or homework. Glare-reducing window film keeps screens visible making it a profitable addition to home offices.
