Q: What special maintenance is required on solar heating systems?

Q: How much does my heating system cost to operate?
A: Since the sun’s energy is FREE, there are no operating expenses. That’s the beauty of going solar.
Q: Exactly how much can I save on my utility bills?
A: Studies have shown that solar heaters can save you up to 30% on your utility bills. In simple math, if your monthly utility bill runs around $200.00, you are standing to save up to $60 dollars every single month. That’s $720 every single year! NOTE: These savings do not include the solar tax incentives that have recently been made available to consumers.
Q: Should I use a pool cover?
A: We recommend it during the winter months. When you use a pool cover, it is much easier to maintain the desired temperatures. When you don’t use a pool cover, the heat rises each night and your heating process begins from scratch the next morning.
Q: How do solar powered systems work?
A: At its simplest form, the solar panels we install in your home capture the energy provided by the sun and channel it to heat your water. Not only is this good for you but it is also great for our environment.
