Denver’s Window Tint Experts In Green Technology
At Scottish Window Tinting, we have done quite a bit of window tinting in Denver and across the country in our day. Over the decade we have installed tens, if not hundred of thousands of feet window tinting, so when we say we are the experts–we have the experience and know-how to back it. As experts in the field of window tinting, we often get questions about all types of window tinting applications, window tint pricing, and window tint technologies. One question that seems to be popping up more frequently lately, as people get more and more concerned about climate change is–“Is Window tint a “green” technology?” In fact, window tinting is a “green” technology based strictly on the definition of “green” technology: “A technology whose use is intended to mitigate or reverse the effects of human activity on the environment”. But more important than the definition it fits is –what that means to you as a consumer. Below are two big takeaways for the end consumer which proves how “green” technology isn’t just good for the earth, but for the environmentally minded consumer as well.
How “Green” Window Tint Technology Benefits Consumers
As we mentioned above, window tint is by definition “green” but also extremely practical too. The two benefits below illustrate how investing in conservation technology can work for you.
- Window Tint Qualifies You For An Energy Efficiency Tax Credits: A tax credit directly reduces your income tax, unlike a deduction, which reduces the amount of income subject to tax. The credit then directly increases the tax refund you receive or decreases the amount you have to pay. Homeowners can receive a 10 percent credit on the costs of window film, up to $500.
- Window Tint Conserves Energy And Saves You Money On Utilities: Energy efficiency can lower your federal tax bill and your monthly energy bill. Heat gained through windows makes up to 40 percent of your summer utility bill. Solar control window film reduces heat gain by 80 percent, which helps lower energy consumption.
At Scottish Window Tinting we have seen the benefits of energy efficiency first hand in our own homes and the myriad of clients we have installed film for. Contact us today to find out more about how window tinting can be part of a long-term green energy plan for your home and get saving today!
