Our Mission

New homeowners are looking for more and more energy efficient homes listed on the market. There’s no doubt as why they are. When heating and cooling bills add up to 70% of annual operating cost of home, you don’t want to be spending more than you have to. With energy costs continuously on the rise, the best investment you can make is energy efficiency. 

We are told that solar can reduce our heating bill; especially if we have electric heat. I beg to differ. Yes, it’s true that electric heating and hot water heating requires an enormous amount of kWh per hour. For instance, it requires 15kW to heat and provide hot water for a 1,500 square foot home per hour. Compare that to a solar set up though. A 15 kW solar array at 200 Watts per panel would require 75 solar panels on your roof or lawn and four solar inverters plus the installation, maintenance and insurance costs. This comes at an enormous   cost—even with the 30% federal subsidy. In the winter, you’re lucky to get four hours of solar power. That leaves the remaining 20 hours to still require utility power. All assuming you don’t cook, do laundry, watch TV or turn on a single light.
