Why You Should Own a Retractable Awning

One of your favorite summer activities is entertaining your friends and family outdoors on your back patio. However, the weather can be just too hot and sunny here in Upstate New York to host any barbecues out there during the daytime. If you find yourself wishing your patio had some shade, a retractable awning is what you need. Over our years of providing top-quality professional chimney maintenance, repair, and installation services to the Albany area, Champs Chimney Service has made it a top priority to increase the comfort level in our customers’ homes. In order to help make their outdoor living spaces more comfortable, we have a sister company, Champs Awning, that carries a wide variety of retractable awnings from trusted companies like Aristocrat and Titan Screen. Once you have found the perfect awning, you can count on the same excellent installation service you have received from our trained and experienced chimney professionals. We will make sure that your awning is safely and properly installed and works easily and efficiently before leaving your home. We would like to tell you some of the reasons why your back patio needs a retractable awning this summer.

Provides shade for your outdoor living space

You updated your back patio with a new, stylish, weather-resistant, and comfortable furniture set, and it has become the favorite hangout area in your home for everyone in your family. Unfortunately, since there is no type of roof over your patio, you are not able to use it as much as you would like, especially during the hot days of summer. Not only can the heat be unbearable without any shade, but you also have a higher risk of sunburn. A retractable awning allows you to enjoy your comfy patio sofa whenever you wish, no matter how hot and sunny (or rainy) the weather may be.

Increases the energy efficiency of your home all year long

Not only does a retractable awning control the amount of sunlight you get outside, it also allows you to decide how much sunshine is needed in a room of your home. You will find a wide variety of styles and sizes of awnings at Champs Awning, including window awnings and door canopies. A retractable window awning helps increase the energy efficiency of your home by reducing the use of your heating and cooling system. In the summer, you want to keep the sun out of your home; however, on the cold, gray winter days of the year, you need as much sunshine in your home as possible for its heat and its brightness. A window awning lets you adjust the amount of sun your home gets throughout the year, which increases the energy efficiency and, even better, decreases your heating and cooling costs.

If you would like to increase the energy efficiency and the comfort level of the outside and inside of your home, Champs Chimney Service highly recommends a retractable awning from our sister company, Champs Awning. To learn more about your awning options, contact us today for more information.
