Use This $3 Film to Cut Your AC Bill by 40% (HVAC Guys Buried This)

NASA developed reflective metallized film in the 1960s to protect spacecraft and astronauts from extreme solar heat. The same material, applied to the inside of a sun-facing window, rejects up to 80 percent of incoming solar energy and can drop room temperature by up to 10 degrees. A sheet large enough to cover a standard window costs about $3 and installs with soapy water and a credit card. The Department of Energy ranks it as one of the fastest-payback home improvements available. The HVAC industry, which generates over $130 billion a year, would rather sell you a $10,000 system upgrade. We explain the science, walk through the installation step by step, and cover the real limitations so you know exactly where this works and where it doesn't.
