Battling the Electric Bill

As Summer creeps to an end, hot temperatures remain in the forecast. The heat advisories for our area have been issued frequently. The biggest reminder is the electrical bill. For some residents, they will do anything to cut cost.

One business that is booming is Hunter’s Window tinting. Tinting of windows in homes and businesses is a trend that has been growing in popularity. The solar reflected tint keeps the heat out during the summer and helps reduce your electric usage. In the winter the tint helps to keep your home warm by acting as a insulator.

Owner, Lance Hunter tells us at that the tint also helps preserve your home. The sunlight that comes through the windows of your home can sometime fade your furniture or hardwood flooring. The tint shields your belongings from these damaging UV rays.

Another benefit to tinting is safety. During a Hurricane or high winds windows could break. The tinting itself helps keeps windows from shattering into pieces. Tinting your home windows allows you to keep your blinds open. This is helpful when your children are playing in the yard and you have an unobstructive view.

One Richmond couple has installed the window tinting to their home and their business. In a year, their business saved one thousand dollars. They also “feel” the difference in their home. Their living room is much more cooler with the tinting.

So try to enjoy the rest of the summer and good luck on that electric bill.
