In coordination with Home Energy New York, Emmy now delivers homes with green energy technology built-in. With choices including solar panels, wind turbines and solar heating tubes, Emmy Homes in Commack New York can build and deliver an energy efficient house to you.
The wind power systems that will be used in Commack New York are the Energy Ball v100 and v200 systems. These systems are designed to generate 500W and 2500W of power respectively. These wind turbines, which closely resemble a weather vane as opposed to a traditional windmill, are very compact. The v100, for example, is only 3 feet tall. When mounted on a pole on top of your house, is able to use the power of the wind, day and night, producing electricity for you. Any excess electricity is fed back into the grid and sold back to the power company.
The solar heating tubes are a unique approach to raising the temperature of water used throughout your home. A fully enclosed system, it makes use of vacuum tubes containing thin metal blades. As sunlight hits these blades, they heat tubes of water running through the middle of the blades. This water circulates back to your heating system through coils and radiates heat into the usable water in your tank. The water in the heating tubes is not the water that you consume; rather, this water passes through coils that transport the heat energy to the water that you use to drink, bathe and clean your clothes.
Solar heating tubes, such as those in the green energy systems in Commack, work in both the summer and winter – based on sunlight. These break resistant glass tubes house the blades in a sealed environment. The outside cold has no impact on the blade. Even in the cold of winter, solar heating tubes collect sunlight and heat the water passing through the central tube, as high as 190F. Finally, solar electric panels placed on the roof of your new house can produce year-round electricity. While solar energy systems are only effective during daylight hours, the quantity of electricity they produce can be significant. Surplus electricity is automatically routed back to the utility company, who buys it back from you at the same price that they bill you for electricity. If you are careful and turn off lights and appliances in your house that you are not using, your electric requirements will drop, allowing even more electricity can flow back to the power company. Go on vacation and have your house act as a mini power station, generating electricity and selling it back to the power grid day in and day out!
Remember, as you look at houses with clean energy solutions in Commack, keep in mind the tremendous value of having green energy in your house. A home with solar electric, wind power and other solar energy on Long Island gives you advantages over the rest. It is good for the environment, and lowers your costs and increases the resale value of your house.
