In Phoenix, homeowners spend on average about $450 on air conditioning costs during the summer. Over the course of a year, about a quarter of energy costs for the average home is for air conditioning, which is four times the national average. If you’re looking to save on cooling costs this summer, window film for your Phoenix home can help. Here’s how it works.

 

How Does Window Film Save on Air Conditioning Costs?

Air conditioning costs are often highest during the summer when it’s warmest outside. Your windows are constantly being exposed to heat, and if they heat up enough, then the warm air can transfer indoors. This makes it hard for your A/C system to keep up. Your A/C runs longer and works harder, which costs you money.

Window film is an insulating material. Its primary purpose is to keep heat in place. During the summer, it prevents infrared heat from getting into your home. This allows your home to stay at a consistent temperature, so you use less A/C, saving you money on energy costs.

 

How Much Money Can Window Film Save?

Savings from window film in Phoenix can be significant. Depending on the size of your home, you could be talking hundreds or thousands of dollars each year. Sunlight exposure, glass type, and surroundings like trees and vegetation all play a role in determining the actual amount. However, as a ballpark figure, homeowners can save as much as 30% of their normal energy costs.

This roughly translates to an average ROI of 2-5 years. Because the savings are so significant, you could get all your money back in just a couple of years. Then, you’ll continue to save money during the lifetime of the film.
