Looking to Cut Energy Costs? Consider a Retractable Patio Awning

admin — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 23:19:16 +0000

Usually, we choose an awning for personal comfort reasons only. Having an awning over the patio during the hot summer months is a relief and helps make outdoor spaces more enjoyable. And having a retractable awning is exceptionally convenient. However, something that you may not have considered is that because outdoor shade products, like awnings, reduce the amount of sun penetrating your windows, they actually help to reduce energy costs! In fact, a study by the American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers concluded that an awning reduces heat gain by 55-65% during the time of the day when the sun shines directly on southern facing window and glass doors. For western exposure, the reduction in heat gain is 72-77%. That’s a substantial savings, both in energy usage and costs.

Awnings and patio covers not only save money for home owners but they can also be good for the environment. How you may ask? Because using an awning contributes to a reduction in a household’s demand for energy which then directly reduces the impact of global warming from greenhouse gas emissions due to excessive energy use.

The energy savings benefit of retractable awnings isn’t just effective during the summer. It extends into the winter as well! The ability to retract the awnings in the winter (as opposed to fixed roof structures) allows the warmth of the sun to penetrate back through your windows and glass doors, helping to heat the house and once again reduce heating costs and energy usage.

Whatever the weather, you can’t go wrong investing in a retractable awning or patio cover.

Why Choose Gutter Helmet For Your Gutter Protection System?

Zack — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:57:34 +0000

As many of us know, there are many gutter protection services in Northwest Indiana available to us homeowners. The question is, why choose Gutter Helmet? What makes Gutter Helmet a preferred customer choice over other brands? Well, there are many reasons, but one is most prominent. The Gutter Helmet protection system has one quality that no other brand on the market offers, this being the patented “Nose-Forward” design. As you can see in the picture, the nose of the system extends over past the gutter, allowing debris (twigs, leaves, etc.) to flow far past the gutter and onto the ground, as opposed to into your gutters. Many other brands attempt to imitate this system, but none are able to replicate it, allowing the debris to penetrate their system in various ways. Another benefit from choosing Gutter Helmet, is it’s ability to keep out nests, hives, and pests from clogging your gutters. Many other brands of gutter protection have systems that allow easy access for insects and animals, making them prime spots to nest in. Because of the sleak and smooth “Nose Foward” design, the opening between the system and the gutter is too small for anything to get in. Make the smart choice when looking for gutter protection systems, and choose Gutter Helmet… The first, the best, the #1 gutter protection system in the world!

Rain Gutter Protection Ft. Wayne-Crown Point, IN

admin — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:32:46 +0000

Gutter Helmet of Indiana serves the Ft. Wayne, Crown Point and surrounding areas. We provide complete rain gutter protection that’s guaranteed to last a lifetime so you never have to clean your gutters again.

People usually think of rain gutter protection in the spring or fall when gutters have a tendency to clog with leaves and heavy rain cause overflows that bring gutter problems to our attention. The fact is that snow can also cause major problems when you don’t have a proper rain gutter protection system in place.

Not only do gutters keep rain from running off your roof and over doorways and entryways and getting you wet, they protect your home from damage by managing the flow of water. Having a rain gutter protection system actually serves a very important function. When rain hits your roof it runs down into your rain gutter system and drains safely away from your home. The power of hundreds of gallons of rain water running off your roof can be a damaging source of nature. Where does it go once it gets to the edge of your roof? Without gutters it goes right to your home’s foundation. The dirt around your home saturates with water leading to foundation damage, water in your basement, mold problems and a host of other expensive and troublesome problems.

Rain Gutter Protection System

But I do have gutters you’re thinking? Yes, but if your gutters and downspouts aren’t cleaned and functioning properly, it’s the same as not having any. Clogged gutters cause rain water to overflow onto the ground below. That’s where rain gutter protection comes in. A good rain gutter protection system like Gutter Helmet solid gutter covers can protect your foundation, basement and home from damage.
