When it gets cold outside, nothing beats a toasty house. However, without the proper window insulation, keeping your Long Island home warm can be difficult. This is because glass on windows is not a powerful insulator. In fact, windows that are old or not treated with window film result in as much as 30% higher energy bills.

Glass Window Insulation Solutions in Long Island

There are plenty of solutions out there for insulating windows, like sealing windows with plastic. While that is somewhat effective, it is ugly and obscures your lovely outside views. The best way to keep heated air inside your Long Island home is to have window film applied. It has a quick ROI and saves you money on utilities year-round, not just in winter.
