Hold on to your hat. Normally, a typical cooling/heating system operating cost is at least 40% of home energy use. Let's reduce that 40% to 12%.
WE will install a modern technology Solar air conditioning heat pump that operates 70% more efficiently than typical heating and cooling units. Federal and State Energy Conservation Programs and Rebates will be used to recover a large part of the cost of this installation. It will be 100% cost free to operate by adding (4) 190W Photo Voltaic Solar Panels. This can also act as an emergency electric system operating on batteries and solar panels on all power outages. The original unit will only come on 1/5 of the time now in a few peak heat hours.
