Renewable Sources &
Home Automation
Today's homes are more technologically advanced than ever. There are so many options, it can be quite daunting to work through them all. We work with experts in each area to help you decide what, if any, you might want to incorporate into your new home.
Solar
There are many good reasons to install a solar energy system with your new home. Solar power not only helps to reduce your energy bill but also helps to combat greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. There are rebates available as federal income tax credits that can help to offset the initial cost of the solar energy system. We work with solar installers to integrate the panel system on your roof, or as a detached array, to make it look as clean as possible. For more information on solar power, please click here.
Wind Power
Wind turbines are another great source to offset energy usage and electrical costs. The initial investment in a wind turbine is more than a solar array, however, it has a smaller footprint and emits fewer greenhouse gases. Like solar, there are rebates available in the form of federal tax credits to help soften the cost of the system. For more information on wind turbines, please click here.
Rainwater Collection
Rainwater harvesting is a way to collect and store water for future use, with the added benefit of controlling some stormwater. Rainwater can be used as both potable (cooking, drinking) and non-potable (washing, irrigation, fire protection, etc.) water. Rainwater systems are designed for your intended use and vary in size and complexity. For more information on rainwater harvesting, please click here.
Generator
Back-up generators add peace of mind in case of a power outage. Typically, a generator starts providing power to the home within seconds of a power outage. Generators can be installed to power the entire house or can be downsized to only power the most crucial electrical aspects of your home. We work with different instalers to provide you with the best options for your needs. To see more information on Generac© generators. please click here.
Smart Home Automation
Home automation can give you control over almost every electrical component in your home, no matter where you are. Automation systems include an app that you can download onto your device which acts as a portal to your system. You can see security camera video, control your lights, pre-heat your oven so it is at cooking temp when you get home, monitor and adjust the temperature inside your home... almost anything can be controlled by a smart home system, even your lawn sprinklers. Pre-planning is crucial to a smart home. For more information, please click here.
