Are motorized blinds worth it?
Motorized blinds are worth it if you want privacy and light control that adjusts in an instant—or on a schedule. The energy efficiency of smart shades can save you money on utility bills, as well as create a more comfortable home atmosphere—both are very important to California homeowners. The effortless control of motorization is worth it for most clients who are interested in schedule settings, saved favorites for instant access and quick adjustments for hard-to-reach windows.
How long do motorized shade batteries last?
The battery life can depend of daily usage. With disposable AA batteries, they are typically changed every 1-2 years with daily adjustments.
Can motorized blinds work during power outages?
If your motorized blinds are powered by battery, yes they can be used during power outages. Hard-wired shades would need power from your home to work, therefore, power outages can affect the use of hard-wired shades.
Are smart shades energy efficient?
Yes, smart shades are energy efficient. They can be easily opened and closed on daily schedules to bring in morning warmth and to block the intense California sunshine in the afternoon and evening. Rooms with south and west-facing windows will experience the greatest results, since those spaces are more heavily affected by harsh sunlight.
What is the cost difference between manual and motorized shades?
Motorized shades typically cost more than manual shades due to the added motor, power system, and automation features. The difference varies depending on window size, shade style, and smart home integration. Many homeowners choose motorization for the added convenience, safety, and energy efficiency benefits.
