Living in Perth, we all know the feeling—summer’s here? Crank up the A/C. Winter chills? Fire up the heater. But when everyone’s doing the same thing on the hottest days, the grid gets maxed out and rolling blackouts aren’t far behind. And then, of course, there’s the shock of the electricity bill that follows! But what if I told you there’s a way to keep your home cool in summer, warm in winter, and still save on energy bills—without worrying about blackouts? You can with energy-efficient roller shutters—your home’s new best friend delivering locally to the wait awhile state.
Insulation Power: How Energy-Efficient Roller Shutters Help
You might not realise it, but roller shutters aren’t just for keeping out burglars or blocking the sun. These beauties do wonders for insulating your home. When closed, they create an extra barrier between the inside of your home and the outside elements. Heat from the sun? It bounces right off, leaving your home cooler. Cold winter nights? The shutters lock in warmth, keeping your space toasty without the need to constantly run the heater.
This insulation is especially useful with our External Shutters or Electric Security Shutters. By minimising heat transfer, they help regulate indoor temperatures, meaning your air conditioner and heater don’t have to work as hard. And when they’re not working overtime, you’re saving money.
The Numbers Don’t Lie: Energy Savings
How much can you save? Well, there are plenty of studies out there, and the numbers are impressive. By installing Roller Smart Shutters, homeowners can reduce energy consumption by up to 30%! That’s not just a few bucks; it’s hundreds of dollars annually.
In one case study, a Perth family living in Wangara installed Electric Security Shutters and saw their energy bill drop by nearly 25% during the first summer. And they didn’t have to constantly reach for the remote—their External Electric Shutters were programmed to automatically close during the hottest part of the day.
Tips for Maximising Energy Efficiency
If you’ve already got Manual Roller Shutters or you’re thinking of getting them, here’s how you can get the most out of them:
- Use them smartly: Close your Residential Shutters during peak sun hours to keep your house cool. In winter, open them up to let the natural warmth in during the day, and shut them tight in the evening to trap the heat.
- Consider electric options: Sure, Manual Roller Shutters work well, but Electric Security Shutters give you the option to automate everything. You can set them on a timer to close during specific times, or even sync them with your smart home system. It’s energy efficiency without the effort!
- Insulate your home all around: For the ultimate in energy savings, pair your Window & Door Shutters with well-insulated walls, doors, and windows. Together, they’ll keep your home’s temperature balanced, reducing the strain on your cooling and heating systems.
- Choose the right material: Not all shutters are created equal. Opt for shutters with a high-quality insulation core like our Aluminium Shutters, designed to boost energy efficiency. Our roller shutters are built with Perth’s unique climate in mind, so they stand up to the heat and keep your home cosy in winter.
