Emmy Homes is proud to deliver energy-efficient homes to Long Island. Our designs make use of Energy Star rules, qualifying for Energy Star certification to help ensure the efficiency of your house. This not only cuts your utility costs but also raises the resale value of the home.
In conjunction with Home Energy New York, Emmy now delivers homes with green energy 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 power systems that will be installed in Commack New York are the Energy Ball v100 and v200 systems. These systems have been designed to produce 500W and 2500W of electricity respectively. These wind turbines, which closely resemble a weather vane as opposed to a traditional windmill, are very compact. The v100, for example, is only 3 feet tall. When mounted on a pole on top of your house, is able to use wind power, day and night, producing electricity for you. Any excess electricity is fed back into the grid and the power company pays you for that electricity.
The solar heating tubes are a unique approach to raising the temperature of water used throughout your house. A closed system, it makes use of vacuum tubes containing narrow metal blades. As sunlight hits these blades, they heat water in tubes running through a seam in the blades. This water circulates back to your heating system through coils and indirectly heats the water in your water tank. The water in the heating tubes is not the water that you consume; rather, this water passes through coils that transport 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 power systems in Commack, work year round – powered by sunlight. These shatter resistant glass tubes contain the blades inside a vacuum environment. The outside cold has no impact on the blade. Even in the cold of winter, solar heating tubes collect sunlight and create heat that heats the water passing through the central tube, as high as 190F. Finally, solar electric panels installed on the roof of your new house can produce year-round electricity. While solar panels are only effective during daylight hours, the amount of electricity they produce can be tremendous. Surplus electricity is automatically routed back to the power company, that will buy it back from you at the same price that they charge you for electricity. If you are careful and shut off lights and appliances in your house that are not in use, your electric requirements will drop, allowing additional electricity can flow back to the utility. Go on holiday and have your home act as a small 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 massive value of having clean energy in your house. A house with wind power, solar electric and other solar energy on Long Island gives you advantages over the rest. It is good for the environment, and lowers your costs and raises the resale value of your home.
