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.

“Michele’s Hide-Away Screens and Awning did an amazing job on our garage screen! The team was professional, punctual, and very knowledgeable. The installation was quick and seamless, and the screen looks fantastic — it gives us shade, privacy, and keeps the bugs out while still allowing airflow. We’ve already had compliments from neighbors, and we love being able to use our garage like an extra room now. Highly recommend this company for quality work and great service!”

Just had Michele’s put in a retractable garage door screen. They weren’t the cheapest, but in my opinion had the best product. Price was fair and service was excellent. Jack, the installer, put the screen up in two hours, cleaned up everything and left the area clean. He explained operation, warranty and product care. Given the price and service, I would highly recommend this company.

We are ABSOLUTELY SO SATISFIED with Michele's Hide-Away Screens & Awnings! They did a FANTASTIC job and when they came out for measurements they told us they would be back in 6 wks for installation and they were right on time with the call to let us know they were ready for installation. They kept in touch and when a time was given for their arrival it was almost accurate to the minute. They are very professional as well as friendly. We would highly recommend their services and we will continue to tell all our friends and new neighbors moving into our neighborhood about them. Thank You Michele's Hide-Away ❣️ GREAT JOB from a FANTASTIC COMPANY😃

The salesman Al who came out to do the quote was amazing. Very detailed, professional, and knowledgeable; verified his measurements and explained what we should expect. Timing for the availability of the unit was spot on and installation was scheduled promptly. Jack the installer was fabulous as well. He came ready to work, did the installation efficiently and in less time than anticipated. He obviously knew what he was doing and provided excellent and clear instruction on how the screen worked.
