How to reduce energy usage and increase warmth in your home and/or office

If you find yourself spending more time at home these days, you're not alone.

As we listen to the advice from health officials and limit our interactions just in time for the weather to cool, many of us who work from home and now stay indoors on the weekend are finding ourselves reaching for the thermostat more often than normal... which has the obvious downside of increasing our energy usage and the final number on our energy bills.

Instead of limiting your consumption and paying more for energy, you could layer up and try to work from home while wearing mittens... or you could install window fashionings that retain heat in an energy-efficient way.

With Budget Blinds in Kamloops and/or in Vernon, you can do exactly that! And when you consider the fact that you'll be reaching for that thermostat a lot less, this addition to your home and/or office will actually save you money in the long run.

To reinforce the importance of this decision we've found that in the US, Energy.gov stated that tightly installed cellular shades can reduce heat loss through windows by 40% or more, which equates to about 20% heating energy savings.

Another reputable site, Zebra Blinds, ranked Cellular Shades as the top option in Energy Efficient Window Treatments! Have a look at what they had to say:

Cellular shades are excellent energy saving window coverings that block solar heat and conduction heat gain or loss. This design creates an air pocket between the window glass and the interior that stores air inside during summer and winter acting as insulation. So basically they are responsible for heat gain and heat loss during the time of summer and winter.

Cellular vertical shades are also perfect for sliding glass doors and patio doors because they don’t allow the heat to enter the room during summer and prevent indoor heat from going out during the winter season. This makes your room comfortable and convenient. These shades are ideal for media and bedrooms with the needed privacy thermal and sound insulation and sound insulation.
