There are many reasons to get your windows cleaned before winter bites. For a start, your whole home will look a lot better with sparkling clean glass – and the effect will be magnified when you request an external house wash and roof wash as well! But there is also a money-saving reason for you to contact us at Tailored Property Services and request window cleaning in Auckland. And that is, the cleaner your windows, the lower your power bills might be!
Winter and high power bills go hand in hand. The average Kiwi home chews up power with a voracious appetite during the cooler months as we strive to warm our homes with things like heat pumps and electric heaters. At the same time, we use our lights much more as well. We switch them on earlier and turn them off later, and this all adds up on those power bills we receive.
One way you can reduce the amount you pay for heating and lighting is to have your windows cleaned before winter well and truly arrives. Did you know that dirty windows prevent the sun’s light and heat from brightening and warming your home? All that free solar energy goes to waste because the dirt on your windows acts as a barrier, and repels the natural heating and lighting properties of the sun. What a waste of free energy!
By having your windows professionally cleaned, you will maximise the sun’s full power. The light that your perfectly clean windows let into your home will brighten and warm the interior of your property. You won’t be as reliant on your heat pump or electric heater, and the lights won’t have to be on for quite so long. It all adds up to better energy efficiency within your home, by harnessing the power of the sun.
Of course, the more windows you have in your home, the more pronounced the difference. Our clients who live in homes with large picture windows will tell you that the difference can be quite astronomical – simply because their windows are clean and streak-free.
So, as part of your pre-winter checklist, we recommend you contact us and enquire about our window cleaning services. You don’t have to be a homeowner to engage our services. If you own a business and your building has a lot of windows, get in touch with us and we’ll clean them as well. The power savings you’ll enjoy this winter could look very attractive when it comes to the bottom line!
