Tips

Retractable screens can help lower your energy bill.

Retractable screens can help lower your energy bill.

We are looking for ways to save a buck or two off of our energy bill. In Florida, summertime is hot and humid, causing most of us to rely on our A/C system 24/7. The result is an enormous power bill that can hurt pour wallets in a bad way. There are ways to cut down on energy uses with a retractable screen.

One of the many benefits you’ll enjoy with your retractable screen is the energy savings. When in use, your retractable screen can help you to reduce your electricity bill and energy use by allowing you to bring in more fresh air from the outside on lovely days, allowing you to rely less on your HVAC system for comfort.

When not in use, your retractable screen disappears into its housing, offering an unobstructed view of the outdoors. You’re in control with a retractable screen. You decide when you want it, merely sliding it where you want it to go and leaving it hidden from view when you choose.

If it is still sweltering outside, you don’t need to turn your air off turn it up a few degrees while you sit outside in your screened in garage or patio and enjoy the breeze in the late afternoon. Turning the temperature up while you are not in the house is a perfect way to save money on your electric bill.

There are some added health benefits as you won’t have the stale, stuffy air you would typically have within a house, but instead, the fresh air of the outdoors and air circulation when there is a breeze. And if you can have screens on opposite ends of your home, you will get some excellent cross ventilation through your home.

Your retractable screens stay cleaner because they don't hold on to dust, pollen or dirt while retracted. Their self-storage feature also eliminates the pesky task of removing your screens in the winter and pulling them back out for the spring.

Our retractable screen technicians are standing by, ready to help you bring in the breeze. Get a free, no obligation quote today.

We are very pleased with our roll down garage screen installed by Jack from Michele’s Hide-Away screens. He did a very professional job, and explained everything to us.

We went to Michele’s Hideaway Screens and Awnings with the intention of asking detailed questions about the product, installation, warranty, pricing, company background, privacy options, security, and weather durability. When we arrived, we spoke with Mick, who sat with us and answered every question thoroughly. He showed us samples of the screens, demonstrated how they operate, and explained what they would look like once installed. He also provided a clear timeframe for when the screen would be available. Because we could see the quality of the products firsthand — along with the professionalism and customer service in how our questions were handled — we decided to move forward and placed an order for the Super Screen, which allows for a bit more airflow into the garage. Our order was placed on June 25th, and installation was completed on July 31st, exactly within the timeframe they had given us. Bob arrived on time and took great care with the installation, doing an excellent job. He left the area clean and took the time to explain how to properly maintain the screen. Overall, the experience from start to finish was smooth, professional, and reassuring. We are very pleased with both the product and the service we received.

The screens for our garage were installed. They slide easily. They improve the appearance of the house. The garage clutter is no longer visible. I have recommended Michele's Hideaway screens to a neighbor and a friend. All have noticed how nice they look.
