Remedy: Alternative and Renewable Energies

Our HES technicians will make a preliminary review of your home’s appropriateness for solar photovoltaic, and solar thermal applications. While solar applications can be retrofitted on most homes, some are considerably more suitable, thus lowering the cost of installation and optimizing the cost and benefit. Important considerations when judging if solar is an appropriate alternative energy option for your home are orientation of home to the sun, trees blocking suns access to home, roof type, etc.

Note: Before installing any solar system your home should first be optimally insulated and sealed!
