Emmy Homes is proud to bring energy-efficient homes to Long Island. Our homes leverage Energy Star guidelines, qualifying for Energy Star certification to help ensure the efficiency of your home. This not only reduces your utility costs but also raises the resale value of the home.
In coordination with Home Energy New York, Emmy now delivers homes with eco friendly technology built-in. With choices ranging from solar panels, wind turbines and solar heating tubes, Emmy Homes in Commack NY can build and deliver an energy efficient house to you.
The wind power systems that will be installed in Commack New York are the Energy Ball v100 and Energy Ball v200. These systems are designed to generate 500W and 2500W of power respectively. These wind turbines, which more resemble a weather vane and not a traditional windmill, are very compact. The v100, for example, is only 3 feet tall. When mounted on a pole on top of your home, is able to use wind power, day and night, generating electricity for you. Any excess electricity is fed back into the power grid and sold back to the power company.
The solar heating tubes are a unique approach to heating the water used throughout your house. A closed system, it makes use of vacuum tubes containing thin 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 solar heating tubes is not the water that you consume; rather, this water passes through coils that bring the heat energy to the water that you use to drink, bathe and clean your clothes.
Solar heating tubes, such as those in the green energy systems in Commack, work in both the summer and winter - based on sunlight. These shatter resistant glass tubes contain the blades in a sealed environment. The outside cold 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 190F. Finally, solar electric panels installed on the roof of your new home can produce year-round electricity. While solar energy systems are only effective during daylight hours, the quantity of power they produce can be tremendous. Excess electricity is automatically routed back to the utility company, that will buy it back from you at the same rate that they charge you for power. If you are smart and shut off lights and appliances in your home that are not in use, your power demand will drop, allowing additional electricity can flow back to the utility. Go on vacation and have your house act as a mini power station, creating electricity and selling it back to the power grid day in and day out!
Remember, as you look at houses with clean energy solutions in Commack, keep in mind the tremendous value of having clean energy in your house. A home with solar electric, wind power and other solar energy on Long Island sets you apart from the rest. It is environmentally friendly, and reduces your costs and increases the resale value of your home.
