We were thinking about switching to solar power for heat? How much and where to start?

By admin | April 20, 2009

Bubbles asked:


We have forced oil which is not allowed by our loan we received on our new house which is 200 years old. The house is currently 1,300 square feet. Instead of switching to gas, we were interested in solar power. How to I begin the research on this and where to buy?
Also how $$ is doing something like this? We don’t know anyone with solar power so any comments or suggestions would be great.
IN NJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You home is most likely poorly insulated. To try to do this with solar, which does not work to begin with, will be very expensive. But then you home may be down south where heating is not that hard.

      Your best be is to insulate the attic as much as possible make sure you have good windows and doors, and go with a high eff. heat pump, that way you also have AC in the summer.
