SOLAR

After you have completed less expensive energy smart upgrades in your home like adding insulation and ceiling fans, sealing air leaks, installing low flow faucets, showerheads and toilets, and replacing old doors and windows, consider renewable sources of energy like Solar.   

Solar Outdoor Lighting is affordable and provides free energy and low maintenance lighting. Solar Outdoor Lighting is great for decks, patios, pathways and sidewalks.  Also consider adding a Solar Powered Attic Fan to ventilate your attic and keep your home cooler to lower your air conditioning bill. 

Ready to start generating energy from renewable sources? Consider geothermal heat pumps, wind power, bio fuels, or solar thermal systems.  While significantly more expensive than traditional energy sources, certain Solar Energy Systems including small wind systems, geothermal heat pumps, residential fuel cell and microturbine systems can receive a 30% tax credit  when “placed in service’ before December 31, 2016.  See http://www.energy.gov/savings/residential-renewable-energy-tax-credit  for tax credit details and how to apply. While Virginia Home Repair does not provide installation of advanced solar systems or provide heating and air conditioning services, we can make recommendations.  Turn to Virginia Home Repair, the Home Improvement and Green Energy Experts to help you select the best and most cost effective Green Home improvements that will make your home more energy efficient and lower your energy bill.
