Homeowners
Green advice that returns green to your pocket!
You deserve the opportunity to lower your utility bills, reduce your greenhouse gas emissions, and increase your home’s value! Let us help you determine which renewables are the best bang for your buck!
What do we do for Homeowners?
How do you heat and power your home?
Still burning fuels to stay warm? Still paying the electric utility for power?
We can show you a better way to heat your home without creating onsite air pollution and greenhouse gases that drive climate change, It…
- …is safe, clean, and comfortable
- …is renewable and reliable 24/7, rain or shine
- …costs less to maintain and operate
The answer is a heat pump system that heats without burning fuel! It’s a new paradigm based on a proven technology that’s grown in popularity across Canada and Europe and is gaining ground in the US.
Heat pumps move heat rather than generate it. Widespread adoption will drive huge reductions in greenhouse gases and clear our air. Heat pumps can be air source or ground source (geothermal). Geothermal ones used to cost more than air source ones due to the expense of installing the loop system. BUT NOW, in New York State only, they are equal to or cost less due to the generous federal and state income tax credits and electric utility rebates. See incentives.
When you replace your furnace or boiler with a heat pump you will slash or eliminate your fossil fuel bill, since heat pumps are 3-5 times more efficient and run on electricity.
You can offset your increased consumption by generating your own power with solar panels, reducing your net utility costs. And adding battery storage will enhance your resiliency.
All-electric is a growing trend as people choose to go fossil fuel-free, or even achieve net-zero energy and emissions. All-electric does not mean expensive when heating with heat pumps.
In New York State building electrification has already begun. You, too, can be a part of this environmental sustainability effort now, instead of waiting for the end of conventional fossil fuel heating.
We know how daunting it can be to consider making changes to your home, even if it’s to upgrade to solar panels and renewable heating with heat pumps. We’ve been there and learned a lot. Let us help take the angst out of what should be beneficial enhancements to your greatest asset.
We give homeowners green advice that adds green to their pocket. We never suggest green products or services that provide only the prestige of “going green.”
