Will motorized shades save me energy?

Writer: Scott SherarScott Sherar

Yes, motorized shades can help save energy in your home. Here are some ways that motorized shades can contribute to energy savings:

1. Energy-efficient shading: Motorized shades can be programmed to automatically adjust based on the amount of sunlight entering the room. This can help reduce heat gain during hot summer months, which can reduce the amount of energy needed to cool the space. Similarly, during colder months, shades can be programmed to open during the day to allow sunlight in, and close at night to insulate against heat loss. 2. Automation and control: Motorized shades can be controlled remotely, allowing you to adjust them even when you're not home. This means you can close the shades during peak sunlight hours to reduce heat gain, without needing to be present to do so. 3. Integration with smart home systems: Motorized shades can be integrated with other smart home systems, such as lighting and HVAC, to create a more comprehensive energy-saving solution. For example, shades can be programmed to close automatically when the temperature in the room reaches a certain level, helping to reduce the load on your air conditioning system.

Overall, motorized shades can help contribute to energy savings in your home, and may be worth considering if you're looking for ways to make your home more energy-efficient.
