Use this pack before you ask for a quote, or keep it beside you while you compare quotes. You do not need measurements, a budget or a product model to start.
1. Room and window priority worksheet
List the openings that matter most. You can start with selected windows; a whole-home package is not required.
| Room or opening | What is the problem? (security, harsh light, privacy, ease of use) | Priority (1 to 3) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
2. Plain-English control comparison
| Option | How you use it | Good to know | Who installs it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Remote and smart control | Open and close from a remote or your phone. | Schedules and timers need a compatible Wi-Fi setup. | Motor, wiring and remote installed by MCF. |
| Electric wall switch | A rotary mech switch on the wall. | Hardwired, with no remote. | Motor and hardwired switch wired by MCF’s own licensed electricians. |
| Manual or spring shutters | Simple hand operation. | No power needed, so they keep working during a power outage. | Measured and installed by MCF, with no electrical work required. |
Not sure yet? You do not need to decide before the measure.
