HOW ROLLER SHUTTERS SAVE ENERGY
How Energy Saving Roller Shutters Work
Windows are the biggest weak point in your home’s insulation. In summer, heat floods through the glass and your cooling system fights to keep up. In winter, warmth escapes and your heating system runs longer to compensate.
Roller shutters add a foam-filled aluminium barrier on the outside of the glass with an insulating air pocket behind it. Less heat through the glass means less work for the system that manages your temperature.
YEAR ROUND SAVINGS
Energy Saving Roller Shutters in Summer and Winter
Summer savings
Closed shutters intercept sunlight before it reaches the glass. Your cooling system starts from a lower baseline temperature and doesn’t have to fight as hard. West-facing rooms experience the most significant improvement.
Winter savings
Closed shutters trap heated air inside by insulating the glass. Your heating system maintains temperature longer and cycles less. Rooms stay warmer after you switch the heating off.
What Affects Energy Savings From Roller Shutters
WHAT AFFECTS YOUR SAVINGS
How much you save depends on your home. Windows facing west or north receive the most direct sunlight. Larger glass areas lose more heat. Homes with single glazing see a bigger improvement than those with double glazing. The number of shutters matters, and how often you use them. Every situation is different, but customers consistently report running their systems less.


How Roller Shutters Reduce HVAC Strain
LONGER SYSTEM LIFE
When your HVAC system cycles less frequently, it doesn’t just save energy. It lasts longer. Fewer cycles means less wear on compressors, fans, and motors. The shutter does part of the temperature management work so the mechanical system doesn’t have to handle all of it. Over years of use, that reduced load adds up.
“Very professional, highly recommend, could not ask for a better company. This is the second time I have used them. Will definitely use again.”

Smart Scheduling for Energy Saving Roller Shutters
AUTOMATE YOUR SAVINGS
With the smart WiFi upgrade, you can set daily schedules for each shutter. Close west-facing shutters at 2pm before the afternoon heat hits. Open everything at 7am.
The shutters run on autopilot and you don’t have to think about it. The Smart Life app works on iOS and Android, compatible with Google Home and Amazon Alexa.



MORE THAN ENERGY SAVINGS
Energy Saving Roller Shutters With Security, Blockout and Noise Reduction
Energy savings are one benefit. Security, privacy, blockout, and noise reduction all come standard with every roller shutter we install. There’s no separate “energy saving” product. It’s the same foam-filled aluminium shutter, custom-fitted to your openings. SM tubular motors are included. Elero motors are $265 more per shutter.
Energy Saving Roller Shutters vs Double Glazing and Insulation
COMPARED TO OTHER OPTIONS
Double glazing represents a significantly higher investment and only handles insulation and noise. Ceiling insulation helps but doesn’t address the glass. External awnings block summer sun but do nothing for winter heat loss. Roller shutters handle both directions and also give you security, privacy, blockout, and noise reduction. One product, one install, and the energy savings start from day one.


Do Roller Shutters Actually Lower Energy Bills?
WHAT CUSTOMERS NOTICE
Every home is different, so we don’t make specific dollar claims. What customers tell us: their cooling system doesn’t cycle as often in summer, their heating holds longer in winter, and their energy bills are noticeably lower in the first full quarter after installation. West-facing rooms see the most significant improvement. Homes with 6+ shutters covering the most exposed windows report the most consistent results.

ENERGY SAVING ROLLER SHUTTERS FAQ
Common questions about energy saving roller shutters.
Do roller shutters actually help save energy at home?
Yes. The foam-filled slats and the air pocket between the shutter and the glass reduce heat transfer in both directions. In summer, less heat enters through the windows so your cooling system starts from a cooler baseline and doesn’t cycle as hard. In winter, warmth escapes slower through the glass so your heating system holds temperature longer. Your HVAC system does less work, which means less energy consumed.
How much money can roller shutters save on energy bills?
It depends on your windows, their orientation, your existing insulation, and how often you close the shutters. What customers tell us consistently is that their cooling system doesn’t cycle as often in summer, their heating holds longer in winter, and their bills are noticeably lower in the first full quarter after installation. Homes with large west-facing windows and 6+ shutters see the most consistent improvement. Book a free measure and we’ll assess which windows will make the biggest difference.
Can roller shutters be automated to save energy?
Yes. The smart WiFi upgrade lets you set daily schedules for each shutter or groups of shutters via the Smart Life app (iOS and Android). Popular energy-saving schedules include closing west-facing shutters at 2pm before the afternoon heat hits, opening everything at 7am for natural light, and closing all shutters at sunset in winter to retain warmth. Compatible with Google Home and Amazon Alexa. See our motorised shutters page for the full smart control breakdown.
Are energy saving roller shutters a different product?
No. Every roller shutter we install uses the same 42mm foam-filled aluminium slat. The energy saving benefit comes from the foam insulation inside the slat and the air pocket that forms between the shutter and your window when closed. There’s no special “energy saving” upgrade. Blockout, noise reduction, security, and privacy all come standard too.
