Heat Rejection: Window Film and Remote Starters To the Rescue

Heat Rejection

Summer has fully ramped up in Florida, and it is hot outside! Simple tasks like going to the store to pick up a few items can become a miserable endeavor because our vehicles turn into ovens. When you open the door to your vehicle, you can feel the heat billowing out, and you already know it is going to take a long time for your air conditioning to cool you off.

Fortunately, there is good news in this article. Sound Depot and Performance has multiple things that can help keep your vehicle cooler during this hot weather. Our window tint options offer superior heat rejection and interior temperature reduction.

3M Window Tint For Maximum Heat Rejection

Heat RejectionWe are the area’s exclusive 3M Crystalline window tint dealer. This is the most technically advanced window tint on the market, and it’s in a league of its own. It is made up of more than 200 layers of film, designed and patented by 3M to give you the best heat reduction available. What makes it even better is that it doesn’t rely on the darkness of the film to lower your vehicle’s interior temperature. We have films that are virtually clear that can block more than 70% of the sun’s heat from passing through your windows. We can even tint your front windshield with this incredible technology so you will have 360 degrees of protection.

Sound Depot and Performance has two other films made by 3M that also do a good job of heat rejection. If Crystalline were not on the market, the Color Stable tint would be considered one of the finest available, and still does a very good job of rejecting the sun’s heat. If price is a concern to you, but you still want good heat rejection, FX Premium is the tint for you. It is very reasonably priced and will still have a positive effect on your vehicle.

Remote Car Starters Cool Down Your Vehicle Before You Get In

Heat RejectionThe remote car starter is a category that continues to grow in popularity as people realize that a remote starter can be used to cool down your vehicle in the summer, not just warm it up in the winter. Imagine this scenario: Your vehicle has been sitting in the sun for a while. You open the door, get greeted by a rush of hot air, and then get inside and close the door. You immediately start the vehicle and crank the air conditioning up the to max. Herein lies the problem. As you know, it is going to take at least a minute or two for the air conditioning system to get going. Then it has to cool down all the ductwork that supplies your cold air, as it is working against you. After several minutes, the vehicle is blowing cold air, and the interior temperature starts to drop. Whew.

Now, imagine this scenario: Five to 10 minutes before you are ready to leave, you remote-start your vehicle and let the air conditioning system start cooling it down before you go out to it. When you open your door, you don’t feel hot air rushing out – you feel refreshing cool air as you step inside. And then you smile as you realize how much you like your new remote car starter from Sound Depot and Performance.

We invite you to stop by today with your vehicle. Our award-winning team will help you pick the best products for your unique needs, at a budget you can afford. You can also contact us here for more information about any of our products and services.
