Front Porch Forum: Solar Heating in Chittenden County!

Energy from the sun can heat and cool your home, replacing dirty and expensive oil or propane. A typical Vermont homeowner can save hundreds of dollars each year with solar heat, and enjoy clean energy air conditioning in the summer, too!

At your free solar home visit, our Solar Home Advisor can draw up a proposal with our low-interest financing options to provide you solar heating and cooling.

Comfort

Solar heating and cooling is quiet and comfortable. This smart technology can keep your home consistently warm and cozy through the winter — and dry and cool all summer long. It’s clean since allergens and dust are filtered out as the heated or cooled air is circulated in the house. The installation is easy, takes typically just one day.

Clean

Tired of dirty, expensive fuels heating your home? Solar systems produce more power than a home needs during the summer, actually spinning the utility meter backwards and building up a big electricity credit to draw down at night and during the shorter days of winter. What can you do with those banked solar credits? You can use that credit to run an ultra-efficient heating and cooling unit.

Savings

Vermont’s energy agency studied fuel prices and reports solar heat is the big winner. Most Vermonters heat their homes with fuel oil or propane. Now we can save big with solar heat at a fraction of the cost of using oil as your heating fuel! Your added bonus is guilt-free cooling!
