Every one of us is aware of the amount of money we spend each week consuming electricity. Where we fall short is taking proactive steps to reduce our costs to keep our homes and businesses cooler. Back in the 1970's the Oil Embargo and Odd-Even Days for gasoline created a host of incentives promoted by the Federal Government to reduce our energy usage. The utilities at that time offered rebates to consumers who installed energy efficient products like window films. This created consumer awareness and was the fountainhead of the window film industry in general. Over the last three decades the deregulated utility businesses in the United States reduced or eliminated these rebate incentives. This situation as dramatically changed in just the last few months.
The Federal Government is providing Tax Incentives http://www.windowfilmtaxcredit.com to encourage the use of high performance window films. Local utilities are offering rebates again and consumers should take the opportunity to save money immediately. The power company in your area is likely providing a free in-home energy audit that encompasses a multiplicity of strategies to reduce your demand usage. 45% of a typical homeowners energy cost is geared to cooling your home in Florida (for example) the energy home auditor will provide an extensive guideline for improvements in your use of energy efficient appliances and lighting, window glazing films like Vista Window Films and improved air conditioning units and filters. Florida Power and Gas, TECO and Progress Energy have all sponsored window film incentives up to $1.00 per Sq Foot for the installation of window film. The average homeowner will start seeing their energy bill reduced immediately with the installation of these films while enjoying a rebate that will substantially defer the cost of the installation. This will give a return on investment that any consumer can appreciate. Local consumers here in the Tampa Bay area can check our website at http://www.advancedfilmfl.com for details.
With all the hype about Global Warming and Ecology and our dependence on Foreign Oil and Petroleum scare resources, it pays to install window film right now. After all it's not going to get any cooler outside is it?
