Clean windows increase a home or building’s appearance tenfold and are a powerful tool for conserving energy and optimizing performance. There are many reasons why you should hire our experts at Water Works for our exceptional exterior cleaning services, but here are why you should specifically hire us to preserve the cleanliness of your windows.
1. Maximizing Natural Light.
Clean windows free of streaks always let more natural light into the home, which is especially helpful as we approach the cooler months of shorter, darker days in fall and winter. More natural light reduces the need to use artificial lighting during the day, helping you save energy and money on electricity, especially in spaces that rely heavily on sunlight. Natural lighting is also objectively better and more ambient, making your home feel brighter and more inviting.
2. Improving Insulation.
When debris like dirt and grime accumulate on windows, it can affect and damage the seals around the window frames over time. Damaged seals lead to air leaks, drastically decreasing the insulation efficiency of your windows and home. Allowing us to clean your windows regularly will maintain the structural integrity of these seals, so you won’t lose heat in the winter or gain it in the summer – no one needs that here in Florida! Your HVAC system will thank you for allowing it to rest more to reduce your energy bills.
3. Enhancing Solar Heat Retention in Cold Months.
In the colder months, clean windows can optimize solar heat gain by allowing more sunlight to penetrate the glass. This natural heat can help warm your home, reducing the need for heating and cutting down on energy consumption. By leveraging the sun’s warmth, you can decrease your reliance on artificial heating, which is particularly beneficial in homes with large windows or southern exposures. Since heaters are nearly obsolete in Florida, reliance on solar heat through windows is much more essential and valuable.
4. Extending the Lifespan of Window Glass and Coatings.
Regular window cleaning prevents the buildup of detrimental substances like hard water stains, salt, and pollutants that can corrode window glass, and the specialized coatings are designed to improve energy efficiency. By maintaining the clarity and performance of energy-efficient window coatings, you ensure that your windows continue to perform at their best, maximizing their energy-saving benefits. In the long run, this will save you money for replacements and repairs for your windows.
5. Improved Functionality.
Clean windows are less likely to stick or jam, ensuring you can easily open and close them to take advantage of natural ventilation. Proper ventilation can reduce the need for air conditioning, further lowering energy use. Efficient window operation allows for better control over indoor temperatures, contributing to a more comfortable living environment, reduced energy costs, and simply more accessible utility for your household.
Regular window cleaning is a simple yet effective way to enhance your home’s energy efficiency and overall usability. By allowing more natural light in, improving insulation, and maintaining the functionality of your windows, you can reduce energy consumption and lower your utility bills, all while enjoying a brighter and more comfortable living space.
