As the price of fuel goes up solar heating interests have increased. And there is more and more concern for reducing winter heating bills. Questions have come in to address this problem and I would like to share with you some information on the subject.

Heating the inside of your home or business requires some electrical power for fuel burning furnaces. Electricty is used to make the spark to start your fuel to burn and run your fan/blower/water pump to circulate the warm air or water. Your thermostat also uses electricty.

Your current options are to replace your fuel burning furnace with an electric furnace and supply your electrical needs for your electric furnace and the rest of your home with a renewable energy source "Solar".

WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE!

This pricing is based on a range of heating needs from the lowest (hot/warm states) to the highest (cold/coldest states) for a 1,000 square foot home. This is to give you a general idea so that you can decide to look into this further with a locally liscensed professional. You will need to do this for your particular installation.

The efficiency of your home when it comes to heat loss, plays a part in figuring out your actual needs. If you have a high amount of heat loss you will need a higher output heating element in your electric furnace. This will cost more initially with the furnace and will require more electricty, thus increasing the solar panel requirements.

So here is "Solar Bob" repeating himself "Energy efficiency is key to saving you money on your solar system and your "Solar Savings Project".
