Reducing Home Energy Use

Whether it’s because you’re an environmentally conscious homeowner or you’re interested in reducing the amount of money you’re spending on energy over the course of the year, many homeowners are thinking of ways to reduce their home energy use. One of the biggest drivers of energy usage in the home is our heating and cooling systems-it takes a lot of energy to warm a home in the winter and to keep the A/C running in the hot Florida summers. With Duette® Honeycomb Shades and PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas, you can give your home a slick new upgrade while reducing your home’s energy usage.

Hunter Douglas Duette® cellular shades that reduce home energy usage near Boynton Beach, Florida (FL)

Duette® Honeycomb Shades

The main draw of cellular honeycomb shades is that they are specially engineered to provide added insulation at your windows. In fact, their cellular construction traps air throughout the day and night. Since up to 30 percent of our home’s energy loss is through our windows, this construction is the perfect option to consider when reducing your home’s energy use. Duette® Honeycomb Shades from Hunter Douglas keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer without you cranking up the AC or thermostat. The result? A comfortable home all year long, reduced energy usage, and reduced energy bills.

Of course, Duette® Honeycomb Shades also pack a powerful design punch. We invite you to peruse the widest selection of cellular pleat sizes, opacities, colors, textures and operating systems on the window treatment market when you select these custom Hunter Douglas shades. Duette® Honeycomb Shades can also be custom cut to fit specialty windows and skylights if your home sports unique window shapes.

PowerView® Automation

There are many cool things that automated shades can do, especially when you choose PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas. Whether you set up custom schedules on your tablet, adjust your shades in real time on your phone with the PowerView® App, or use your voice after connecting your PowerView® Automation system with your Google Assistant, Apple Siri, or Alexa, there are many ways to use automated window treatments to your advantage.

Of course, in addition to all of these amazing things, you can also fulfill your resolution of reducing home energy usage with PowerView® Automation, too! Since the system can detect changes in temperature, PowerView® Automation will raise or lower your shades if the sun gets too hot or if it dips and makes your house feel a little nippy. By providing insulation or natural lighting when needed, PowerView® Automation keeps your home comfortable and your energy usage low.
