With one of the hottest summers approaching, your wallet is sure to take a hit from keeping your home cool and comfortable. While there are many ways to keep cool this summer, installing awnings can be the cheapest option to keep cool over the long run. Find out how awnings can help keep you cool and your wallets full this summer!
So how do awnings work? Awnings work by deflecting the sun’s rays. Effectively preventing an increase of indoor temperature of your house by blocking heat from entering your home. According to the Professional Awning Manufacturers Association, awnings can reduce air conditioning costs by up to 25%. This is because your air conditioning does not have to work as hard to maintain the desired indoor temperature. So how much cooler do awnings make your home? A study by the American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning also concluded that awnings and similar exterior mounted shading systems can reduce interior heat gain by up to an astounding 77%.
Not only do retractable awnings help reduce energy consumption and therefore cooling cost, they also add comfort and style to your outdoor room and value to your home. Retractable awnings provide a shaded outdoor living space that can be used to host backyard barbecues, pool parties, and intimate gatherings. The versatility provided by a retractable awning combined with their practicality makes retractable awnings a must have for any homeowner in the summer.
