Q: Can Blinds help my power bills?
A: As energy costs increase, homeowners everywhere are looking for ways to reduce their overall energy consumption and slash large heating and cooling bills. One of the easiest and effective ways to do this is by adding properly measured and installed blinds to your windows. Energy that is lost through windows can represent from 10% to 25% of your seasonal heating and cooling bills. During summer months, for example, sunny windows can make an air conditioner work two to three times harder than normal. Cellular shades – one of the best insulating window treatments on the market — can significantly reduce this energy loss, providing a fashionable way to stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Q: Why do you offer a discount for paying by check or cash?
A: Banks and credit card transaction companies charge a percentage based fee for credit card transactions, if we don’t have to pay it, neither should you. Therefore, we pass the savings on to you.
Q: How long will it take to get my window coverings once I place the order?
A: It depends on the window covering type. We are able to have most coverings installed in about 3-4 weeks from the time you approve the order. Shutters and some other types of coverings require 6-8 weeks due to shipping and other considerations.
Q: Why do you offer trade in discounts for old window coverings?
A: 99% of existing window coverings still have value to somebody. Be it a charity, low income housing, new familes, recyling or taken apart for parts, we know that simply throwing the old coverings away is a waste. In keeping with our committment to reduce our carbon footprint, we reuse everything we can, including your old window coverings. So, while we can’t pay millions for your old blinds, we sure can make it worth your while to help us reuse your old coverings.
