With today’s technological advancements, there are a plethora of opportunities to make environmentally-friendly choices for your renovation.  Thus, excuses not to be environmentally conscious are harder to come by.  Whether it is building products, appliances, or fixtures, many of today’s products deliver better performance with less environmental impact.  With this in mind, consider the follow 3 steps when planning your renovation:

1. Increase the energy & water efficiency of your home,
2. Ensure clean indoor air, and
3. Choose resource-smart materials & products.

In order to reduce the amount of conventional fuel (electricity, gas, propane, wood, etc), we encourage you to consider using a solar preheat hot water system, which leverages the free energy from the sun.  Every home is different, so each system will be slightly different as it is dependent on your usage patterns.  It is recommended that you get a professional detailed assessment to make sure that your needs are met.  If done right, you can expect to see your return on investment (ROI) within 7-10 years.

If you have a swimming pool, you can expect even better ROI as the highest use often aligns with periods when the most solar energy can be captured.  

NR Can, Federal Home Tax Reno Credit, Solar BC, & Livesmart BC all offer incentives for installations of Solar Preheat Systems.
