But did you know about 30% of a home\u2019s energy is lost through its windows? Here in Canada, we spend more money on household electricity consumption than anywhere else in North America. Inefficient window coverings mean your money is literally going out the window. Here are 5 reasons to make energy-efficient blinds a priority for your house.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>LOWER ENERGY BILLS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-215\" title=\"Lower Energy Bills with Honeycomb Shades\" src=\"https:\/\/www.selectblindscanada.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PID-881_CID-9018_b4-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"204\" height=\"204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.selectblindscanada.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PID-881_CID-9018_b4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.selectblindscanada.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PID-881_CID-9018_b4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.selectblindscanada.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PID-881_CID-9018_b4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.selectblindscanada.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PID-881_CID-9018_b4-676x676.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.selectblindscanada.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PID-881_CID-9018_b4.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 204px) 100vw, 204px\" \/>Who doesn\u2019t like to save money? Covering your windows with energy-efficient blinds can help regulate the temperature in your house and cut energy costs. Insulated <a href=\"\/honeycomb-cellular-shades\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cellular shades<\/a>, also known as honeycomb shades, trap air in cells through a layered design. But you don\u2019t need to know the mechanics of these champions of conservation. You only need to know that installing these blinds can mean more money in your pocket.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>YEAR-ROUND PRACTICALITY<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re trying to keep a space warm in the winter or cool in the summer, energy-efficient blinds are your best bet. Expose east-facing windows to the morning light in the winter and block those same rays in the summer. The result is a home that\u2019s temperature-perfect all year long.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_211\" style=\"width: 686px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"\/honeycomb-shades\/value-cordless-light-filtering-honeycomb-shades.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-211\" class=\"wp-image-211 size-large\" title=\"Insulating Honeycomb\/Cellular Shade\" src=\"https:\/\/www.selectblindscanada.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Alta-Honeycomb2_1200x549-1024x468.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"676\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.selectblindscanada.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Alta-Honeycomb2_1200x549-1024x468.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.selectblindscanada.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Alta-Honeycomb2_1200x549-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.selectblindscanada.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Alta-Honeycomb2_1200x549-768x351.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.selectblindscanada.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Alta-Honeycomb2_1200x549-676x309.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.selectblindscanada.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Alta-Honeycomb2_1200x549.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-211\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cordless Light Filtering Honeycomb Shades in Cork<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>STYLE<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Going energy-efficient doesn\u2019t mean sacrificing style.
