Benefits of Renewable Energy
Renewable energy in your home refers to the use of natural resources, such as solar, wind or hydro power, to generate electricity. This type of energy is renewable because it can be replenished and is not depleted like traditional fossil fuels.
The other benefit of switching to renewable energy is that it also provides home owners with energy independence, as they are not subject to price fluctuations or supply constraints. By utilizing renewable energy in your home, you can reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future. Additionally, renewable energy can lead to cost savings on utility bills over time.
Below are our renewable energy options that we can provide to help you take that step towards a greener future.
Solar Panels
Solar panels are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. They are made up of solar cells (photovoltaic cells) which are made up of silicon, and are designed to capture and convert the sun's energy into useable electricity for our homes and businesses. Solar panels are typically installed on the roofs of our homes in order for the panels to maximise the area exposed to the sun. Installing solar panels on your home creates a sense of self sufficiency and independence as you generate your own energy. Solar panels can increase the value of your home and may even qualify you for tax incentives or rebates. They require minimal maintenance making them a hassle free option to power your home.
Heat Pump
A heat pump transfers thermal energy from a colder area to a hotter area, using electricity as its power source. It can be used for both heating and cooling purposes, making it a versatile and energy efficient option for homes and buildings. Heat pumps work by utilizing a refrigerant to absorb heat from the outside air or ground and then transferring it inside. This process can be reversed in warmer months to provide cooling. Heat pumps use less electricity compared to traditional heating systems and they do not emit harmful gasses, they also have a longer lifespan and require far less maintenance making them a cost effective and sustainable option for heating your home.
