Tips

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.

This company Michelle’s hideaway screens is the best at what they do. I had a screen enclosure installed on my patio porch with a screen door. Dalton did an excellent job! I am planning on getting sliding screen doors from them in my garage as well at a future date. Very detailed work! Love the final outcome. Price was very reasonable as well! I would highly recommend!!!

We are now in our second home and the first thing did was have Michele's Hide-Away Screens install an electric rollup screen for the garage. That was almost two years ago. An issue occurred with motor of the screen and Michele's came out and replaced it under warranty and did it faster than expected. As usual with Michele's the technician (Bob) was on time, friendly and did an immaculate job. The screen system is as good as new. You can't go wrong using Michele's Hide-Away Screens.

Just had a hide-Away screen here to repair our garage screen that came off the track. Quickly done in the initial charge, so we are very pleased.
