Retractable screens can help lower your energy bill.

Retractable screens can help lower your energy bill.

We are looking for ways to save a buck or two off of our energy bill. In Florida, summertime is hot and humid, causing most of us to rely on our A/C system 24/7. The result is an enormous power bill that can hurt pour wallets in a bad way. There are ways to cut down on energy uses with a retractable screen.

One of the many benefits you’ll enjoy with your retractable screen is the energy savings. When in use, your retractable screen can help you to reduce your electricity bill and energy use by allowing you to bring in more fresh air from the outside on lovely days, allowing you to rely less on your HVAC system for comfort.

When not in use, your retractable screen disappears into its housing, offering an unobstructed view of the outdoors. You’re in control with a retractable screen. You decide when you want it, merely sliding it where you want it to go and leaving it hidden from view when you choose.

If it is still sweltering outside, you don’t need to turn your air off turn it up a few degrees while you sit outside in your screened in garage or patio and enjoy the breeze in the late afternoon. Turning the temperature up while you are not in the house is a perfect way to save money on your electric bill.

There are some added health benefits as you won’t have the stale, stuffy air you would typically have within a house, but instead, the fresh air of the outdoors and air circulation when there is a breeze. And if you can have screens on opposite ends of your home, you will get some excellent cross ventilation through your home.

Your retractable screens stay cleaner because they don't hold on to dust, pollen or dirt while retracted. Their self-storage feature also eliminates the pesky task of removing your screens in the winter and pulling them back out for the spring.

Our retractable screen technicians are standing by, ready to help you bring in the breeze. Get a free, no obligation quote today.

I stopped by your booth at the last home show at WEC in September. After the show you were prompt to call and subsequently provide an estimate to screen my Lanai and install a front door screen. From the estimate visit to the order to the install you guys were great; love the product, love the service and great communication. Thank you very much.

+: Punctual and polite. Discussed repair options with us. We opted to replace the screen in the door. Good job. -: Color a little off, but that could be because the rest of the garage door screen was aged. Also, thought it was a bit pricey for the amount of time here and all that was replaced was the screen in a 30" sliding door.
