SOLAR POWERED HOT WATER HEATERS

I know this is a spray foam insulation blog, but with the popularity of the blog growing, we've decided to add a little more about some of the other Energy Saving products, that really work to lower your energy bills.  Our company is located in Myrtle Beach, SC, and we can only do services in North and South Carolina; however information on Energy Saving Products and Green Building Products & Alternatives.  Most information you get is from retail chain home improvement stores, advertising their products and services, so they will have no information on a Solar Powered Hot Water Heater if there only selling electric & gas hot water heaters.  The way we find the best energy saving products is at trade shows and conventions, getting all the best technological advances, and information on, Green Building Products, & product reviews.  We will get links for some of these manufacturer's posted on our website soon at http://www.scroofingcontractors.com . 

So lets get into why Solar Powered Hot Water Heaters is a fast growing trend among homeowners, for more affordable energy saving home improvements, then say spray foam insulation.  The main reason is your hot water heater is one of your biggest consuming energy appliances in your home.  It can rank #2 to HVAC systems in homes with large families, and with increasing cost in natural gas & propane, even energy efficient gas powered hot water heaters are getting more expensive to operate.  If your reading this blog, you already know the cost for electricity is rising, so even with more efficient electric hot water heater, your still going to see the cost for this appliance to go up as well.  The only other alternative you have to save money on this energy consuming appliance in your home is to go solar powered.  

Solar Energy Powered Hot Water Heaters do cost slightly more to install, but energy saving and lower utility bills offset this cost in a short period of time, with payback from savings on utility bills.  Other than the main power source for heating the water, solar powered hot water heaters operate in a similar fashion as other hot water heaters, producing water at similar temperatures to that of gas & electric powered hot water heaters.  The main difference you will notice is your utility bill being reduced the next month after having a solar powered hot water heater installed into your home or business.  Installation of a Solar Energy Powered Hot Water Heater only takes a few hours, and a lot less intrusive installation method, then say a standing seam metal roof which can take weeks to complete in some instances.  If ease of installation versus other energy saving home improvements that reduce utility bills, Solar Powered Hot Water Heaters is at the top of the list.

The first question most of our customers have is: What if its a Cloudy Dady?  No problem, solar energy panels work almost like a battery for instance without going into detail, and vary in energy storing capabilities depending on models, brands, etc.  If your worried about a whole week, and live in snowy weather, solar energy hot water heaters are wired to  your electrical system, and have computer generated microchip sensors that tell it when it needs to convert to using electricity from your energy provider.  We get a lot of sunshine in South Carolina, and not much snow, so most of our customers see up to 90% savings on there hot water energy consumption.  Average savings per year for most, run $300-$500.  There is plenty of products out there that have product information on these products, and we get most of our thru a variety of dealers, depending on regions & sales territories.  We also choose to offer our clients a variety of options when it comes to picking a Solar Powered Hot Water Heater in South Carolina, there are many different needs & thriving new competition to big name competitors.  We have more residential clients then we have commercial clients, however Myrtle Beach SC, where our home office is located, is a popular tourist destination, and we have installed solar units into some of these hotels and resorts, with hotel owners seeing a dramatic reduction in hot water heating bills.  There's a lot of hot water heaters in a hotel!!  So lets not leave out small business owners looking to reduce utility bills as well.
