In Phoenix, windows are thermal holes in your building envelope. For large-scale facilities like Peyton’s Distribution Center and Genuine Parts Company, unprotected glass is not just a comfort issue — it is a massive line-item expense on every utility bill. Arizona House of Film installs ceramic and spectrally selective films that neutralize solar heat at the source, protecting your HVAC investment and your bottom line. SRP and APS customers may qualify for rebates on qualifying installations. Licensed ROC #314088.

Check Rebate EligibilityEnergy-Saving Film Performance by Technology
Different film technologies deliver different levels of energy savings. Here's how the four main energy film types compare for Arizona applications:
| Film Type | TSER (Heat Rejection) | VLT (Light) | SRP Eligible | Best Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ceramic Nano | 80-84% | 40-70% | Yes | Residential homes, HOA compliance |
| Spectrally Selective | 75-79% | 50-70% | Yes | Commercial offices, LEED projects |
| Dual-Reflective | 85-91% | 30-50% | Yes | West-facing glass, maximum heat rejection |
| Low-E (EnerLogic) | 70-75% | 70% | Yes | Year-round energy savings, winter insulation |
All film types shown block 99%+ UV and qualify for SRP/APS rebates when NFRC-certified. Arizona House of Film provides NFRC documentation for all installations.
What Arizona Homeowners Save With Window Film
Average Phoenix Home (2,000 sq ft)
- Cooling cost reduction: 25-30%
- Annual savings estimate: $250-$725
- Typical installation cost: $1,200-$2,400
- Payback period: 3-5 years
- Film lifespan: 15-25 years
- SRP average rebate: $150-$400 per home
APS and SRP Both Offer Window Film Rebates
SRP (Salt River Project): $0.75-$1.00 per square foot for qualifying NFRC-certified residential and commercial film installations.
APS (Arizona Public Service): Rebate amounts vary by program year. We serve both SRP and APS territory across Phoenix metro.
Arizona House of Film provides all NFRC documentation, manufacturer spec sheets, and installation verification required for both SRP and APS rebate applications. Homeowners and commercial property owners submit directly to their utility provider.
Proven Efficiency at Scale
Real Arizona projects. Real utility savings.
Warehousing & Distribution
Industrial Heat Load Reduction
Large-footprint facilities with unprotected glass see interior temperatures 15°F+ above set point during peak sun hours — forcing HVAC units into extended recovery cycles. Our ceramic films neutralize heat at the glass before it enters the building envelope.
Completed for Peyton's Distribution Center and Laser Components DG across Phoenix metro warehouse facilities.
Corporate Office Hubs
Eliminating Thermostat Wars
Glass-heavy office perimeters create hot spots that drive constant thermostat conflicts and uneven comfort across floors. Spectrally selective films balance temperature across the entire footprint without reducing natural light.
Installed for On Q Financial and Capital Accounting — full-perimeter solar control across multi-floor office environments.
Skylights & High-Heat Zones
The Horizontal Glass Problem
Skylights are the number one cause of thermal leakage in Arizona buildings. Vertical glass receives direct sun for hours — horizontal glass receives it all day. We have solved uncoolable rooms by treating the glass others ignore.
Skylight film installations for LDS Church facilities and residential estates in Paradise Valley and North Scottsdale.
Energy Compliance & LEED Support
Technical documentation for green building initiatives and code compliance.
LEED Certification Credits
Our films contribute to LEED credits under Energy & Atmosphere and Indoor Environmental Quality categories. We provide the technical documentation required for certification submissions. Relevant for projects with Wespac Construction, Willmeng, and FCI Constructors.
COMcheck & Building Code Compliance
Arizona construction requires meeting strict SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) thresholds. We provide film specs and NFRC-rated data sheets that satisfy COMcheck requirements for new construction and major renovations.
Asset Protection Documentation
By rejecting 99% of UV, our films extend the life of interior assets. We provide UV rejection certifications for asset protection documentation — relevant for inventory-heavy facilities, showrooms, and historically significant interiors.

Energy Film FAQ
How much can window film reduce my APS or SRP bill?
Most Arizona homeowners see 15–30% reductions in cooling costs. The exact amount depends on window orientation, size, and existing glass type.
Do I need to tell my utility company I'm installing window film?
Only if you're claiming a rebate. We can help with the paperwork.
Does energy-saving film work in winter too?
Yes. Low-e films also retain interior heat in winter, making them beneficial year-round even in Arizona.
Does window film actually pay for itself in Arizona?
Yes — and faster than anywhere else in the country. For a 10,000 sq ft commercial facility, energy savings alone typically cover installation cost within 18–36 months. When you factor in extended HVAC equipment life from reduced duty cycles, the total ROI is significantly higher. Arizona homeowners typically see payback in 2–4 years versus 8–12 years in northern climates.
How do SRP and APS rebates work for window film?
Both utilities recognize window film as a qualifying energy upgrade. We are familiar with SRP Business Solutions and APS Peak Player program requirements. We identify qualifying films based on SHGC ratings, provide the required technical data sheets, and assist with the rebate application process. Ask about current rebate amounts during your free estimate — eligibility and amounts change seasonally.
What is the most energy-efficient window film?
Spectrally selective films deliver the highest energy efficiency for commercial applications (75-79% TSER with 50-70% visible light transmission). For residential, ceramic nano-particle films offer 80-84% TSER with excellent optical clarity. Both technologies are NFRC certified and qualify for SRP and APS energy rebates. We specify film based on glass type, orientation, and whether you prioritize heat rejection or natural light preservation.
Does window film work better than window replacement?
Window film costs 90% less than replacement windows and delivers comparable heat rejection performance. Replacing dual-pane windows in a Phoenix home runs $800-$1,200 per window installed. High-performance ceramic film runs $6-$14 per square foot — typically $800-$2,500 for an entire home. Film installs in hours with zero construction disruption. Replacement windows require weeks of scheduling and construction mess.
What is NFRC certification for window film?
NFRC (National Fenestration Rating Council) independently tests and certifies window film thermal performance including SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient), VLT (Visible Light Transmission), and U-factor. NFRC certification is required for SRP and APS utility rebate eligibility. All ceramic and spectrally selective films we install carry NFRC certification. We provide NFRC labels and data sheets with every installation for rebate documentation.
Can I get both UV and heat rejection in one film?
Yes. All ceramic and spectrally selective energy-saving films block 99.9% UV radiation while simultaneously rejecting 70-84% of solar heat. UV protection prevents furniture, flooring, and window treatment fading. Heat rejection lowers cooling costs. Both benefits are delivered in a single film application — no separate UV film required.
