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.

From start to finish the people were amazing. Bob installed my motorized screen today and changed our garage space from a garage to a hang out space with screen. I recommend Michele's screen to everyone

The technician was on time and upbeat and efficient and quick and honest. He suspected that replacement parts might be needed. He determined that they weren’t and said so. I will definitely call them whenever needed.

Needed a repair on our garage door screen. As in the past, Michele’s was easy to make appointment, arrived on time, repair completed well, and priced very fairly. Highly recommend contacting them if you need a new screen or a repair.

We highly recommend Michele’s Hide-Away Screens. Back in 2024 we had their garage screens installed. We were very pleased with the work. Now in 2026 we called for a service on the doors. Again, the communication with the office staff and the service performed by their technician, Jack, was excellent. We definitely would recommend this company for your screening needs.

We love our new screen doors on our garage. The installer was very professional. Thank you for a wonderful product. Our old garage screen slider doors had the rollers on the bottom. We love the rollers on the top they open and close very easily and won’t get dirty like the old ones.
