This is one of the ways you can go to get your home super 'green'.  A solar-hot-water heater is a great way to start contributing to our country's energy use crisis. 

FAFCO solar hot water systems are designed to operate automatically, gathering the sun's energy when available. When solar energy is unavailable, the system turns itself off and the hot water is stored in your water tank until it is needed. 

The hot-water system includes a custom-designed digital solar controller, heat exchanger and pumps incorporated into a single, compact unit that installs easily on the water heater tank or wall.

If you are looking to go solar there are many options and this is a great solution.  Let us help you start designing your next 'green' home remodeling project.

Replacing windows can give your home the 'facelift' it's needed!  These Kolbe Windquest Energy Performance windows can do this but more importantly they provide a service that is twice that of Energy Star criteria and solar heat-gain coefficients above the standard.  Available in casement, awning, or studio versions, the windows feature a 1-1/4" triple-glazing system and allow a maximum air infiltration. 

Design options include grills in the airspace or performance-divided lites in several bar widths in either white or beige (the exterior may also be color coated with a polyurethane color finish).  With many options in windows it's important to know what you're looking at and have an experienced home remodeling contractor to answer any questions you have.  Let Homework Remodels help you pick out the right windows for your home.
