Emmy Homes is proud to bring energy-efficient homes to Long Island. Our designs make use of Energy Star rules, qualifying for Energy Star certification to help ensure the energy efficiency of your home. This not only cuts your utility costs but also increases the resale value of the home.
In conjunction with Home Energy New York, Emmy now builds houses with eco friendly technology built-in. With choices including solar panels, solar heating tubes and wind turbines, Emmy Homes in Commack NY can build and deliver an energy efficient home to you.
The wind turbine systems that will be installed in Commack New York are the Energy Ball v100 and v200 systems. These systems are designed to produce 500W and 2500W of electricity respectively. These wind turbines, which closely resemble a weather vane and not a traditional windmill, are very quiet and compact. The v100, for example, is only 3 feet tall. When mounted on a pole on top of your house, is able to use the power of the wind, night and day, producing electricity for you. Any surplus electricity is fed back into the power grid and the power company pays you for that electricity.
The solar heating tubes are a different approach to raising the temperature of water used throughout your home. A closed system, it makes use of vacuum sealed tubes containing narrow metal blades. As sunlight warms these blades, they heat water in tubes running through a seam in the blades. This water circulates back to your current systems through coils and radiates heat into the usable water in your tank. The water in the heating tubes is not the water that you consume; rather, this water travels through coils that transport the heat energy to the water that you drink.
Solar heating tubes, such as those in the green power systems in Commack, work year round - based on the sun. These break resistant glass tubes house the blades in a sealed environment. The ambient temperature has no impact on the blade. Even in the coldest temperaturs, solar heating systems collect sunlight and heat the water passing through the central tube, as high as'0F. Finally, solar electric panels installed on the roof of your new house can produce year-round electricity. While solar energy systems are only effective during daylight hours, the amount of electricity they produce can be tremendous. Surplus electricity is automatically sent back to the power company, who buys it back from you at the same rate that they bill you for electricity. If you are smart and shut off lights and appliances in your home that are not in use, your power demand will drop, allowing even more electricity can flow back to the utility. Go on holiday and have your house act as a mini power station, creating electricity and pushing it back to the power grid day in and day out!
Remember, as you look at houses with green energy solutions in Commack, keep in mind the massive value of having clean energy in your home. A home with solar electric, wind power and other solar energy on Long Island gives you advantages over the rest. It is good for the environment, and reduces your bills and increases the resale value of your home.
