Emmy Homes is proud to deliver 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 cuts your utility costs but also raises the resale value of the house.
In coordination 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 used in Commack New York are the Energy Ball v100 and Energy Ball v200. These systems are designed to produce 500W and 2500W of power 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 harness the wind, night and day, generating electricity for you. Any excess electricity is fed back into the power 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 home. A closed system, it makes use of vacuum sealed tubes containing thin metal blades. As sunlight warms these blades, they heat water in tubes running through the middle of the blades. This water circulates back to your current systems through coils and indirectly heats the water in your water tank. The water in the solar heating tubes is not the water that you drink; rather, this water passes through coils that carry the heat energy to the water that you bathe with.
Solar heating tubes, such as those in the green energy systems in Commack, work year round – powered by the sun. These break resistant glass tubes house the blades in a sealed environment. The ambient temperature has no effect on the blade. Even in the coldest temperaturs, solar heating tubes collect sunlight and heat the water passing through the main tube, as high as 190F. Finally, solar electric panels installed on the roof of your new home can generate year-round electricity. While solar energy systems are only effective during the daytime, the amount of power they produce can be significant. Surplus electricity is automatically sent back to the power company, that will buy it back from you at the same price 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 additional electricity can flow back to the utility. Go on vacation and have your house act as a mini power station, generating electricity and pushing it back to the power grid day in and day out!
Remember, as you look at homes with clean energy technology in Commack, keep in mind the massive value of having clean energy in your home. A house with solar electric, wind power and other solar energy on Long Island gives you advantages over the rest. It is environmentally friendly, and reduces your costs and raises the resale value of your house.
