How to Save AC Power with Awnings and Shades for your Home

Window and Porch/Patio overhanging shades and awnings – These provide great protection from the sun’s rays when properly sized and positioned over windows.

Protecting your home from the sun’s blistering heat can help lower energy costs and keep your home more comfortable during the summer months. Your home’s west-and-east-facing walls are hit the hardest, leading to more heat gain for rooms located in these areas.

So consider adding awnings and or shades to your large windows in your home.
