Why We Should Invest in Solar Heating Systems

The first question many individuals ask when inquiring about solar heating systems is “how much will it cost?”

That answer always depends on the type of system and how it is used. For example are you only going to use the system to heat your swimming pool or do you plan to heat your entire home year around? Another factor that will influence the cost is the geographic area. However, the price of many solar heating systems usually starts at approximately $2500. This price is more than that of a conventional gas or electric heating system, yet if you consider the rising cost of fossil fuel the total coast of a solar heating system is very competitive over the life of the system.

Homes that use solar power have considerable lower and more predictable monthly energy bills over the course of the time they own the home. In addition, homes with solar power have increased resale values, often as much as the initial cost of the system. Many homeowners also earn between 6% and 25% savings on energy bills depending on how much hot water they use, and their geographic location.

Another reason why people should consider investing in solar heating technology, is that when they purchase a solar heating system, whether it’s for their entire home, or just to provide hot water, they are supporting environmentally friendly technologies. In addition, they are also helping to reduce harmful emissions from fossil fuels.

Just by replacing an electric hot water heater with a solar hot water heater, you can offset the equivalent of approximately 40% to 100% of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of a mid-size passenger car. This may not sound like much, but CO2 traps heat in the atmosphere, which contributes to global warming. If we could replace fossil fuel energies with solar energy whenever we could reduce the amount of nitrous oxides and sulfur dioxides, which make up smog, giving us cleaner air to breath, thus making our world healthier for generations.
