Renewable Energy

Solar hot water (SHW) program is especially created for LIPA (Long Island Power Authority) customers. At the moment it heats water using a water heater that is powered by electricity. Down here is listing some important facts.

Important facts:

Many people may not be completely aware of what exactly is the system and why should they have it. Some important points are discussed here:

Energy requirement:  

SWH, solar water heating system is designed in such a way that it has a capacity to fulfill the demand in the house for heating  a sufficiently high portion of water. A typical such system will suffice to get up to 70% of water heating needs on annual basis. A single collector system produces 34 gallons of water every single day.

Dehumidifiers

A dehumidifier is device that decreases the humidity of the living atmosphere. Increased humidity relative to the temperature is not good for health. Mildew is found inside humid homes which is unhealthy. Growth of worms, moths, fleas and cockroaches, is increased in higher humidity. Preferable humidity level in any home is 30% to 50%.

ENERGY STAR® Qualified Dehumidifiers

ENERGY STAR qualified Dehumidifiers are more competent in removing moisture i.e. need less power as by other dehumidifier. They share the same specifications like conventional models i.e. decreasing humidity, noise less and durable but ENERGY STAR dehumidifiers are more energy efficient.
