Here is our story
We have two south facing bedrooms in our Ottawa home that are always a problem in the summer time. Even though we kept the curtains closed throughout the day, these two rooms were always hot, and my two daughters had difficulty sleeping at night. Inevitably, we would turn up the air-conditioning just to cool the rooms, while freezing every one else in the house.
One hot day in 2011, I got the idea to try using aluminized polyester sheets like a mirror to reflect sun heat out. To my surprise the room remained cool.
We set to work covering the remaining windows of our house where direct sunlight shone in, and to our surprise, found that we rarely needed to use air-conditioning at all. We would simply open our windows overnight and run an energy star dehumidifier for an hour each morning, when required.
To our amazement, our hydro bill dropped to $67.51 for the July & August hydro bill!
Soon our friends, family and neighbors started asking for help covering their own windows, and the Sun Reflector Kit was born. We hope the Sun Reflector Kit helps you and your family stay cool, save money & helps to reduce carbon emissions.
Kind Regards,
