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.

Michele's Hide-Away Screens are fantastic!! Finally it's so easy to get my car in and out, the screens slide smoothly I can move they with one finger. What a relief these screens have made on my garage. Would HIGHLY recommend them. The gentleman who installed them was kind, polite, and very good at his job.

We needed a new folding screen for our garage door and Michele's provided a competitive yet reasonable quote. The quality of the screen material is exceptional compared to their competitors, plus they offer a top-roller design so you don't have to worry about the track and clogged rollers. We also have a folding screen on the man door that was installed by Michele's over 15 years ago. Michele's can repair and replace damaged screens also. Very professional, reasonable pricing, great warranty, and responsive!

We purchased a retractable screen from Michele's Hide-Away Screens and Awnings. They came to my home and showed us the different options. A few weeks later the door was professionally installed. We are very happy with the quality of the door, and it was a pleasure working with their team.

From Meeting with Joshua H. To Having Bob install our garage screen I have been very impressed with Michele’s Hide-Away Screens. A very innovative screen with the rollers on top so that it is easy to open and close and doesn’t get a lot of debris on the rollers as in past models where they were on the Bottom. I highly recommend them.
