Closing your shades save 5-20% of your home’s heat loss.
Our home has electric baseboard heating, so we are always looking for ways to improve our energy efficiency in our home.
A couple of months ago we saw energy saving thermal drapes on a BOGO sale at JCPenney, making for a great deal (we spent about $20 total).
We knew that the current curtains we had in front of our patio door were not being effective, as we could pretty much see straight through them they were so thin!
After installing the new thermal curtains, we immediately noticed a difference when we stood near the closed curtain.
