Will Downing, a Maranatha High School alumnus with a Business Ethics degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, is the President of Window Wizards, a Pasadena-based company that specializes in professional window cleaning services. Downing, whose firm has become a household name in the Pasadena community, emphasizes the importance of routine care for both solar panels and windows to ensure they operate at peak efficiency.
The Hidden Cost of Neglect
Solar panels, a significant investment for many, can suffer a dramatic decrease in efficiency due to dust and dirt accumulation. Downing points out that scientific studies have found efficiency losses in the range of 30-40% if panels are not regularly cleaned. This finding underscores the critical role of maintenance in harnessing solar energy effectively.
Similarly, the importance of window maintenance, especially for energy-efficient models, cannot be overstated. According to research by the Efficient Windows Collaborative (EWC) and other studies, well-maintained windows not only offer durability but also ease of maintenance, potentially reducing heating and cooling costs by up to 15%. The EWC, an initiative providing unbiased information on energy-efficient windows, offers insights into the technical, energy, and human considerations of window maintenance.
A Local Touch with Global Impact
Downing’s Window Wizards is not just a business; it’s a passion project aiming to “enchant the Pasadena community.” Offering a diverse range of services from window to solar panel cleaning, pressure washing, gutter maintenance, and screen repair, Window Wizards stands out with its specialized machinery and environmentally friendly products. Their commitment to excellence is captured in their motto: “We bring a friendly touch to every window we clean, ensuring you’re not just satisfied but truly delighted.”
Beyond Cleanliness: Safety and Health Considerations
The value of these services extends beyond cleanliness and efficiency. Downing highlights the safety aspect, especially concerning DIY window cleaning. He shares anecdotes of clients preferring professional services over risking personal safety on ladders. Moreover, the removal of mold, mildew, and algae by professional cleaning not only promotes a healthier environment but also prevents potential risks and costly home repairs. Downing explains that such growths on surfaces like concrete driveways and brick walkways can pose slipping hazards and affect home insurance costs.
