There are several ways to save
on your electric bill these days. Some of these options are long
term investments . Over time this investment will cost you nothing.
Your upfront cost comes right back to your pocket. Don't feel like
you have to spend thousands to start saving. If your budget limits
you start small by changing out one light and work your way up.
There are also mid priced items like solar power to your water
heater. Decide your budget and call us to figure out a energy
saving plan.
Solar Power is Less Expensive than
Utility Power
By installing a solar power system you
are in effect prepaying for 30-40 years of power at a fraction of
the cost it would be to pay the electric utility over this time
period. As rates increase in the future, the solar power system will
lead to even more savings over the life of the system.
Partial Independence from Electric
Utility Companies
The nation’s electricity rates have
increased 6.7% annually since 1970. Most experts agree that electric
rates will continue to rise faster than inflation. As your own
energy provider, you can lock in a portion of your power costs
that would prevent future rate hikes from impacting you.
Solar Power Systems Are Dependable
Photovoltaic (PV) solar cells were
developed for use in space, where repair is expensive, if not
impossible. PV solar cells still powers nearly every satellite in
space because it operates reliably for long periods of time with
virtually no maintenance. Once installed, the solar power system
will provide electricity quitely and cleanly for up to 40 years. Our
solar panels come with a 25 year manufacturer warranty on their
energy production.
Solar Power Is Great for the Environment
Generating
electric from solar energy reduces your consumption of fossil fuels,
which decreases pollution and the emmisions that are causing global
warming. By using solar power, you will help combat global warming,
and reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign fuels. A solar power
system has a significant environmental impact. For example, a 5KW
solar system reduces CO2 emissions by 10,367 lbs., an amount similar
to what would occur by planting .80 acres of trees, or the amount of
CO2 emitted by a automobile driving 12,441 miles per year.
Investment
As the homeowner you would now own a
solar electric system that adds value to your home, and provides
some degree of protection against future electric utility rate
increase over the coming years and decades. Solar power systems
offer a long term, low risk way to invest your money. In addition to
the financial sense of solar power, the environmental benefits are
undeniable, thereby making it an investment in to our planet’s
healthy future for many generations to come
How do windmills work
A wind turbine, which is installed on top of a tall
tower, collects kinetic energy from the wind and
converts it to electricity that is compatible with a
home's electrical system. In a normal residential
application, a home is served simultaneously by the
wind turbine and a local utility. If the wind speeds
are below cut-in speed (7-10 mph) there will be no
output from the turbine and all of the needed power
is purchased from the utility. As wind speeds
increase, turbine output increases and the amount of
power purchased from the utility is proportionately
decreased. When the turbine produces more power than
the house needs, the extra electricity is sold to
the utility. All of this is done automatically.
There are no batteries in a modern residential wind
system. Small wind systems for remote applications
operate somewhat differently.
NO Mercury, NO
flickering, NO warm up time, NO UV light, and NO risk of buring are
all benefits of this technology. We would like to announce the death
of the light bulb. It is time to bid adieu to the flickering
fluorescents and the power guzzling incandescent bulbs. LED light
bulbs help the planet breathe easier, as every bulb replaced with an
LED means less coal burned to produce electricity and lesser
greenhouse gas emission. It also means less mercury pollution and
less solid waste to be disposed off in landfills. LED lighting last
years longer than any other type of lighting.
Stand By generators
The people who
don't think you can save money with a generator are wrong. When you
lose power it affects the ability to work. Imagine how much money
can be lost losing your power for days or weeks. Also there is
equipment that needs constant power. If your sump pump loses power
there is a chance of sewage backing up into the home. Now you have
repair bills you didn't have before. Don't get caught without
power again.
