In conjunction with Home Energy New York, Emmy now delivers houses with eco friendly technology built-in. With choices ranging from solar panels, wind turbines and solar heating tubes, Emmy Homes in Commack NY can build and deliver an energy efficient home to you.
The wind power systems that will be installed in Commack New York are the Energy Ball v100 and v200 systems. These systems are designed to generate 500W and 2500W of electricity respectively. These wind turbines, which closely resemble a weather vane and not a traditional windmill, are very quiet and compact. The v100, for example, is only 3 feet tall. When mounted on a pole on top of your home, is able to use wind power, day and night, generating electricity for you. Any surplus electricity is fed back into the power grid and the power company pays you for that electricity.
The solar heating tubes are a unique approach to heating the water used throughout your home. A closed system, it makes use of vacuum sealed tubes containing narrow metal blades. As sunlight hits these blades, they heat water in tubes running through the middle of the blades. This water circulates back to your current systems through coils and radiates heat into the usable water in your tank. The water in the solar heating tubes is not the water that you consume; rather, this water travels through coils that carry the heat energy to the water that you drink.
Solar heating tubes, such as those in the green power systems in Commack, work in both the summer and winter – based on sunlight. These shatter resistant glass tubes contain the blades inside a vacuum environment. The outside cold has no effect on the blade. Even in the coldest temperaturs, solar heating tubes collect sunlight and create heat that heats 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 panels are only effective during the daytime, the amount of power they produce can be significant. Excess electricity is automatically routed back to the power company, that will buy it back from you at the same price that they charge you for power. If you are smart and shut off lights and appliances in your home that you are not using, your power demand will drop, allowing even more electricity can flow back to the utility. Go on vacation and have your home act as a small power station, generating electricity and selling it back to the power grid day in and day out!
Remember, as you look at houses with green energy solutions in Commack, keep in mind the tremendous value of having clean energy in your home. A house with wind power, solar electric and other solar energy on Long Island gives you advantages over the rest. It is environmentally friendly, and lowers your costs and raises the resale value of your house.
