Understanding Energy Efficiency

Before we expand on the benefits of energy-efficient shades, it’s important to understand energy efficiency. Energy efficiency is the process buildings use to accomplish tasks with less energy consumption. Window treatments help an entire home use less electricity by reducing the strain on HVAC systems that heat or cool your home. In Santa Rosa, California, this is most noticeable during the late spring, summer, and early fall as your air conditioning runs to keep out the hot, humid air.

The federal government released a tax credit to encourage people to get energy-efficient shades. When you get Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades, you can earn 30% of the cost of the shades back to a $1,200 maximum. This offer comes from the unique honeycomb design of Duette® Cellular Shades, which reduces the amount of heat transfer between your home and the outdoors.

Maximizing Comfort and a Greener Home

Beyond saving money with the tax credit, Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades maximize the comfort in your home. When you get them, you no longer have to worry about hot air seeping into your windows, making the areas around them more comfortable. You also don’t have to worry about the chilly air from the deep winter getting through with drafts, making these shades perfect for keeping your home at its ideal temperature. With this added control over the temperature, you get decreased energy bills.

Decreasing Your Energy Bills

You can decrease your energy bills with optimal control over your home’s temperature. This benefit means you save even more money when choosing Duette® Cellular Shades. First, you get the tax credit, and now and in the future, you get reduced energy bills. The savings never end.

If you add LightLock® to your Duette® Cellular Shades, you can decrease heat in your home even more as the shades block incoming sunlight, which can warm your home. If you want the light, you can open your shades.

Elevating Your Space With Style and Sustainability

With all these benefits, you might wonder if there are any drawbacks. The truth? There aren’t. Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades come in many fabric and color options, making them the perfect shades to match or complement your home’s interior decor. You can have them blend into the background or stand out as a statement piece in every room where you use them. Even better, with their range of sheer to opaque fabrics, you can use the light in your home to create stand-out spaces.
