Being Green, Saving Money at Home
Lights and Lighting:
Take a look at LED lights. The quality LED lights that we carry have up to 3
year warranty. Use very little power consider a 20 LED floodlight it uses 3
watts which running it for 12 hr. a day for a yr. and the cost is less then $2.
Problems with LED they are becoming increasing better but the brightness or
candlepower is not quite what incandescent lighting is but look at how long this
technology has been out. Incandesant lighting not only waste power but in the
summer also waste energy in cooling because they get so hot. But what about the
CFL lights, well they do save on power but have shorter life spans. They do
have better candlepower but they are harmful and dangerous.
Power:
Well we have reduced the power some by the lighting but what about all the other
items that take power? We offer a device that hooks onto your power breaker box
panel and this reduces the power that equipment uses because it make the power
to be purer so motors run for efficiently. Also with this device it protects
against power surges with $25,000 of insurance (power surges can come from your
power company, lightning, generators). Look next is hot water to cut your power
usage.
Hot Water:
Hot water can be a major cost in energy. Ways that we can help you reduce this
load. The sum can be use to heat your domestic water needs by a solar panel.
We have several sizes available. We are also working on a system to heat your
water by the sum without the usage of a solar panel on the roof (coming soon).
Also take a look at our Central Boiler stick with wood or our wood pellet or
corn furnace. They can heat your domestic water as well as your home in the
winter and your swimming pool in the summer. I love mine and so does everyone
that I know.
Air Conditioning:
We offer a check-up or a tune-up to make sure you are getting the most out of
you system. If it is getting some age on the unit than it may be time to look
into a new one. New ones do use less power and we offer a better warranty and
we make sure we match the equipment to your needs. Again I am working on a new
type of A/C that will reduce your power needs as well as provide for some of you
other needs and has some other advantages (coming soon).
Refrigerators and
Freezers: Another item commonly
overlooked for maintenance. These can get pretty scary with the amount of dist,
cobwebs, etc. etc. Make sure you or have someone to clean behind and underneath
these. Also a newer one can be more efficient.
Swimming Pools:
If you own one we can help you lower your monthly cost and time in cleaning,
sanitizing, heating, and yes even power with the usage of special pumps and
more. We can help you in this area too.
Water and Sewage:
You can be green in this area too. Find out more.
Another fact to remember is
there is coming an energy tax that has been said to cost an average homeowner
$260 per month in extra taxes. So NOW is the time to start cutting your energy
bill. If you wait you may end up like other events that there will be a rush to
change so prices go up on products and shortages take place. Take advantage of
the $1500 tax credits that are available now.
Remember all products are
not created equal.
