Energy costs are on the rise in Austin and the rest of the United States. Prices for natural gas and electricity have gone up in the past year. And now Austin Energy is considering increasing its base rate by 7.6%. All of this translates into increased energy costs for Austin residents. While we may have no control over how many utility companies charge for electricity, we do have a solution that can help ease the financial burden. Installing window film for your Austin home is a great way to reduce your energy consumption and save money.
