You may think that windows are a just there to provide a break in a wall or as a place for you to be able to look out of your house. However, windows are so much more beneficial than that. They provide us with free light, fresh air, and can be a source of entertainment.Free Window EntertainmentSometimes what you can watch out of your window is so much more entertaining than what is on television. You can watch different cars go by, the changing of the seasons, animals, and the weather.You never know what is going to happen right outside your windows, and best of all you don’t have to worry about a monthly cable or satellite dish bill.Free Air CirculationInstead of having to turn on your central heating/cooling system fan to rotate the air in your home or needing to go out and buy a fan, you can just open your windows. By opening two windows that are opposite of each other, you can create a cross breeze that will automatically rotate the air in your home for you. Not only does it rotate the air, it also exchanges stale interior air with fresh outside air; which is something your fan can’t do without help from a window.You can also create this cross breeze by opening an exterior door that is across from a window.Free LightWindows allow light in your home without the aid of any form of electricity. You can use windows to light your home for the entire day without having to turn on a single light until the sun sets. Not having to turn on lights during the day can make a bigger difference than you think on your monthly power bill.You can also install windows in normally dark places like closets or small rooms to illuminate these areas, instead of having to hire an electrician to wire these places and install a light fixture.For more information on where else windows can make your life easier, contact us today!
