Home window tinting is usually worth the investment because it reduces the amount of solar heat that enters through your window glass, thereby reducing the cost of cooling your home in the warmer months. Over the lifespan of your tinted windows, your electric bill savings will likely total more than you spend on your window tinting. Additionally, tinting protects your floors and furniture from harmful UV rays from the sun, so the window tint can extend the life of those items, saving you money over time. Lastly, tinting adds to your home's privacy and can help increase security.

On average, professionally applied residential window tinting can last anywhere from five to 25 years. The quality of the film material and installation help to determine if film will stay. In addition, gently cleaning windows with film can increase their longevity. Harsh and abrasive cleaners, alcohol-based and ammonia-based cleaners, and sharp scraping tools and scrubbers can all prematurely destroy the film's surface. Use a microfiber towel and gentle cleaning solutions to get rid of dirt and residue to prolong a tint's lifespan.
