Save Energy. Stay Comfortable. Look Stylish.


Living in South Jordan, Utah, means dealing with hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters—a climate that demands smart home solutions. One of the easiest and most cost-effective upgrades you can make? Energy-efficient window shades.

At Izzy and Sons, we help homeowners across Utah stay comfortable all year while lowering energy costs. Here’s how our energy-saving blinds and shades can make a difference:


1. Reduced Energy Bills Year-Round


In the summer, untreated windows allow heat and UV rays to pour in, forcing your AC to work overtime. In the winter, poor insulation lets heat escape.

Energy-efficient shades help you:

  • Block excessive sunlight and heat

  • Retain indoor warmth in colder months

  • Cut down on your utility bills

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, properly installed window treatments can reduce energy loss by up to 25%.


2. Improved Indoor Comfort


Utah’s climate can be extreme. Energy-saving window coverings help regulate indoor temperatures more evenly.

You’ll notice:

  • Less glare and hot spots near windows

  • Cozier rooms during winter

  • Fewer temperature fluctuations throughout the day

We recommend cellular (honeycomb) shades, which trap air and provide superior insulation.


3. UV Protection for Furniture & Flooring


Utah’s bright sunshine doesn’t just heat your home—it can also fade your furniture, rugs, and hardwood floors.

Energy-efficient window shades:

  • Block up to 99% of harmful UV rays

  • Preserve the color and life of your interior décor

  • Keep your home looking newer, longer


4. Eco-Friendly Living


If you're looking to lower your carbon footprint, energy-efficient window treatments are a great first step.

Pairing shades with smart automation allows you to:

  • Program your blinds to adjust with the sun

  • Minimize unnecessary energy use

  • Support sustainable living practices in Utah


5. Eligible for Local Rebates & Tax Credits


Depending on where you live in Utah, certain energy-saving upgrades may qualify for rebates or tax incentives. Installing certified energy-efficient window shades could reduce your upfront investment and pay off even faster.

We can guide you through options that may qualify under local utility programs.


6. Modern Style with High Function


Today’s energy-efficient shades don’t sacrifice looks for function. At Izzy and Sons, we offer a wide selection of modern designs:

  • Cellular shades in designer colors

  • Layered dual shades for flexible light control

  • Motorized options for ease and comfort

Our window coverings blend seamlessly with contemporary, traditional, or rustic Utah interiors.
