A Case Study: How XPEL All Season Specialty Films Save All Year On Energy Usage

About 30% of a house’s heat is lost through your glass windows (https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/energy-efficient-window-coverings). This is why choosing a quality window film for your home is so important. 

XPEL All Season 45 is a very economical specialty film we carry here at Radiance Shield that works as hard in the summer as in the winter to save you on your energy bill. The film blocks 83% of the infrared heat that you feel in the summer and has a U-factor of .40 which helps to keep the heat in in the winter. 

On July 15th 2023, I installed All Season 45 on an approximately 4yr old home in Redmond Oregon. On September 11th 2024, the homeowner provided me with 10 months worth of energy bills for the time period between July 15th 2023 and September 11th 2024. I observed that after All Season 45 was installed on the home, the home owner saved on their energy usage every month. The energy savings ranged from 4% – 51% equating to money saved for the home owner.  The home owner saved an average of 15.6% on their energy bill during this period. 

In January of 2024, Pacific Power increased their monthly premiums by a whopping 12.9% (https://www.bendsource.com/news/pacific-power-increases-rates-citing-rising-costs-and-wildfire-mitigation-20495625).  The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) informs us that electricity prices have increased 2.67% per year in the US for over the past 25 years (https://www.solarreviews.com/blog/average-electricity-cost-increase-per-year).  XPEL All Season 45 is an economical solution with a limited lifetime warranty for these unwanted increasing utility costs. 

For more extreme savings, Radiance Shield carries XPEL All Season 65 which blocks 89% of the infrared heat that you feel and has a U-factor of .34. Both of these films are a fantastic option for your RV, Home, Office, or Hotel. The picture above is of XPEL All Season Intelligence 65 installed on the right windows but not on the left.
