The Problem
Summer peak electricity rates in Southern California make every hour of AC expensive.
Sun-facing glass forces the AC to run longer and harder, especially from 4–9 PM.
Energy Savings
Lower Your Electric Bill With Solar Window Film
Stop paying to cool the sun.
Quick Answer
Windows account for roughly 25–30% of home heating and cooling energy use, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Solar control film reduces that heat gain, and homeowners commonly see cooling-cost reductions of 10–30% on sun-exposed homes. With LADWP and SCE summer rates, most LA installations pay for themselves in about 3–7 years.
Our Solution
We install high-performance solar film that cuts heat gain at the glass, lowering the load on your AC.
We focus spend on the windows that deliver the biggest savings so the payback is fast.
Why It Matters in Los Angeles
SCE and LADWP time-of-use plans charge the most during late-afternoon hours — exactly when west-facing windows are hottest.
Film is also a simple way to support California Title 24 energy goals without replacing windows.
