How Important is Energy Efficiency in Your Home?
A more efficient home can save you money, improve comfort, and even provide a lasting boost to your home’s value. A solar panel installation is one of the most popular and effective ways to improve home energy efficiency.
Consider the benefits that you could enjoy with an energy-efficient home:
- Lower Utility Bills – Reduce electricity and heating costs with high-efficiency solutions.
- Increased Comfort – Maintain stable indoor temperatures year-round.
- Higher Home Value – Energy-efficient homes are more attractive to buyers.
- Environmental Benefits – Reduce your carbon footprint.
What are the Best Solutions for an Energy-Efficient Home?
While you can make small changes in your home to improve efficiency, like adjusting your thermostat or choosing energy-efficient appliances and electronic devices, the biggest changes will come from larger home modifications and upgrades.
- Solar Panels: Cut down on electricity costs with Power House Home Energy’s premium solar panel installations on Long Island. Solar reduces your reliance on the grid (where most of the energy is generated with fuel oil) and puts production on your rooftop.
- Heat Pumps & Mini-Splits: Enjoy year-round heating and cooling from Power House Home Energy’s energy-efficient systems. Electric heat pumps are more efficient than comparable gas and oil heating systems. They’re even more efficient and affordable to run when you combine a heat pump installation with rooftop solar.
- Roofing Upgrades: A well-insulated, durable roof from Power House Home Energy helps maintain indoor comfort. The right roof will minimize thermal energy transfer, keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. A new roof can dramatically improve the comfort and performance of a mini-split heat pump installation.
Is it Worth Going All-Electric with Solar and a Heat Pump Installation?
The most efficient home requires a careful approach to upgrades and additions.
For many years, Long Island has run on fuel-based systems, especially for electricity and winter heating. Heat pump installations are becoming more common, but you are likely to have some questions about performance.
Long Island’s climate varies between humid continental and humid subtropical. You will be familiar with the excessively humid summers, and sub-freezing winter days in January and February. Traditional heat pumps would struggle to warm a Long Island home in winter, but modern cold-weather heat pumps perform exceptionally well, even during our frigid winters.
- Heat pumps are dual-function, so getting a heat pump installation for your home also means having an energy-efficient cooling solution for the summer.
- Split systems feature per-zone climate control, giving you more efficiency in managing different areas of your home. This isn’t possible with a traditional central system using a series of ducts and dampers.
- There are also financial incentives available to make an energy-efficient home a more cost-efficient home. Heat pumps are more affordable to run, especially when you have a rooftop solar panel installation, and there are various incentive programs at the federal and state levels, like the Residential Clean Energy Credit, to offset the cost of installation.
Heat pumps can significantly reduce your summer cooling and winter heating costs.
