This is a great product, and I wish I would have thought of buying thermal drapes/blackout drapers earlier in my renting career.I live in an apartment in Humboldt County that was built for high 40-degree weather at night. The last few months the temp has dipped in to the low-40s, low-30s, and high-20s. I had my thermostat set to 64-66 degrees with no drapes or blinds for my windows, and my utility bill was going to be $527.I bought this Reflectix and thermal drapes for both bedrooms, lowered my temp to 61-63 degrees and my utility bill has been $133 (bought the drapes and Reflectix halfway through the month), then my utility bill was $112 last month. I am also not really using my oven (just the stove top), and I bought a good toaster oven that can bake/air-fry/toast/warm/convection bake etc.I put it over the windows like drapes, using thumbtacks to hold it on the wall, the clothespin is so I can lift up the Reflectix and clip it in place up top, and then it lets some sunshine in. The Reflectix and drapes keep the heater or AC inside, and keep the heat or cold out. The only way to circumnavigate the political grid-lock and corporate greed is to weatherize your home or apartment with affordable options like these.
