Renewable Energy Makes Idaho News

We are passionate about the community we live in, as well as the people we serve, and we love our great country! As such we want to see only the best choices made for the future of all. Renewable Energy NW LLC owner Carl Simpson put together a few personal thoughts in a recent letter to the editor and we wanted to be sure to share it with you here:

The story of energy is one of evolution, and American innovation has always been crucial to it. As consumers, businesses and public governments increasingly look to lower-carbon options, I’m glad the U.S. will continue to be at the forefront of new clean energy technologies thanks to smart thinking from Congress.

In the final days of last year, leaders in Washington passed the Energy Act — a major infusion of cash into clean energy innovation (like solar, wind and storage) over the next five years. It came on the tailwinds of other important progress for American clean energy innovation right here in Idaho: $10 million in federal funding to support a partnership between Idaho National Laboratory and Xcel Energy. Together they’ll transform our knowledge of hydrogen and potentially the nuclear energy industry as we know it.

Clean energy is a powerful economic development tool and job creator here in the Gem State as well as nationwide. Beyond that new advancements have made clean energy among the most cost-conscious options for consumers. Senator Crapo and other leaders’ sustained commitment to innovation will continue its trajectory and contribute to a more resilient and affordable U.S. power system.

With a focused approach towards energy efficiency first then renewable energy we can make sound economic decisions for clean energy that make cent$.

Carl Simpson, Star

Beyond Solar! Whole Home Energy Solutions!

It’s no secret that Renewable Energy NW LLC has helped the solar thermal industry here in the Northwest grow by leaps and bounds. We’re proud of our hard work and the reputation it has brought us for being a quality provider of green energy choices for your home – but we do a lot more than JUST solar!

Our mission to help you reduce your home energy costs is our primary focus and we are always finding new ways to keep you comfortable in your home efficiently. As part of that commitment to you we are proud to announce we are now a QuietCool authorized installer!

The air in your home is what makes up a large part of the temperature you experience; especially in Summer months hot air is easily trapped in the empty spaces of your attic and other areas. Your regular air conditioner will do it’s best to regulate the temperatures in the living spaces you occupy but all that latent heat in the rest of your home can make it have to work much harder than necessary – sometimes even running in the late evenings when there is plenty of cool air outside! That’s one reason why QuietCool fans are exceptional! Anytime it is cooler outside than the inside of a home, the QuietCool whole house fan system will work effectively.

No CLANG BOOM! These aren’t your old rattling attic fans! These fans are whisper-quiet and energy-efficient – not to be compared to the old traditional whole house fan. QuietCool systems allow you to turn off your most expensive appliance and improve the air quality and comfort of your home in just minutes!

If you are tired of big energy bills or looking to build energy efficiency into your home from the ground up we would love the opportunity to talk with about all of the solutions we offer! Call 208-577-6537 for your free estimate today!

Save Your Toes Before The Snow Blows!

Winter! Is! COMING!
Fuzzy caterpillars, old bones, and everything in the sky is saying we’re in for another big winter here in Idaho! While no one can predict the weather with any real certainty, especially in 2020, one thing we can say for certain is that solar thermal will not only help you save your frosty toes this year it can also help you save on your energy bill.

First, our Renewable Energy NW team takes a look at your homes current energy costs – or projected ones if you’re still building. From that we make a comprehensive plans based on your energy needs and start putting the pieces together based on that need and your budget. See, we understand no two homes are the same and as such no cut copy solution will work for every home. Thankfully we do a lot more than just measure your roof to see how many panels it will fit – we do solar thermal like few others in the world, but it is only part of our whole home energy solution!

Sound expensive?
Don’t worry! We know all of the best incentives and plans to keep costs as affordable as possible. ANY investment in your home has costs up front, the real question at that point becomes is it worth that cost. Solar thermal and our renewable energy solutions have some of the highest – and fastest – payback of any home upgrade and best of all you will start seeing the savings on your first power bill.

Here’s some details from a recent install as an example:
We installed solar thermal radiant floor heating and cooling – the most efficient system for heating and cooling – in this 4,200 Sq Ft home by Northern Construction.  In addition to the solar thermal, this home will also have 10 Kw of Solar PV.

The estimated annual cost for energy for this home is just $750 !

Invest In Your Energy Future!

IDAHO! The time to start saving is NOW!
That’s right, right now – with whole home energy solutions from Renewable Energy NW LLC!

Solar thermal itself is one of the most efficient forms of renewable energy at over 94% efficiency; it is just one of the methods we employ to help lower you overall home power load.

Because we look at the big picture of how you use energy in your home, instead of just measuring your roof to see how many solar panels can be crammed into it, we know that your needs can change over time. As such it is wise not to rely on just one system to handle all of the work; so we combine things like long life light bulbs, vibration free attic fans, and even solar thermal cooling to provide year round solutions for your home now and into the future.

What this provides is not only energy savings that you will see right away but also an investment in future power security for years to come! Best of all, should you decide to sell your home down the road you will be happy to know that homes with solar tend to not only sell 20% faster but also for higher value. But don’t go thinking that these solutions are something you can only have if you’re building new – no way! – we can help any home old or new start saving with the power of the sun!
