Renewable Energy: A Bright Investment for Idaho

Idaho, with its abundant sunshine, is an ideal state for harnessing solar energy! Installing renewable energy systems like solar photovoltaic (PV), solar thermal, and efficient hot water heat pumps can not only reduce your energy bills but also increase the value of your home.

Solar Photovoltaic (PV): Harnessing Sunlight for Electricity

Solar PV systems convert sunlight into electricity, powering your home and potentially reducing your reliance on the grid. The initial investment can be offset by significant long-term energy savings. Idaho’s generous solar incentives can further sweeten the deal.

Solar Thermal: Hot Water from the Sun

Solar thermal systems use the sun’s heat to warm water for household use, including bathing, laundry, and dishwashing. This can significantly reduce your reliance on traditional water heaters, leading to lower utility bills.

Efficient Hot Water Heat Pumps: Energy-Efficient Heating

Hot water heat pumps extract heat from the air, even in colder temperatures, to heat water for your home. These systems are highly efficient and can significantly reduce your energy consumption for hot water heating.

Financial Benefits and Increased Home Value

Lower Energy Bills: By generating your own electricity and heating water, you can significantly reduce your monthly utility bills.

Tax Credits and Incentives: Idaho offers various tax credits and incentives for homeowners who install renewable energy systems.

Increased Home Value: Studies have shown that homes with solar panels and other renewable energy features often sell for a premium.

While every home is different, RENW is experienced in installing solar and solar thermal for almost any kind of construction! We are well skilled at commercial installation for dairies and farms as well! There are some things to consider when installing solar that can impact how well it works:

Home Orientation and Shade: The orientation of your home and the presence of shade can affect the performance of solar PV systems.

System Size: The size of the solar system you choose should be based on your household’s energy consumption and budget.

Professional Installation: It’s essential to work with a reputable installer – like Renewable Energy NW! – to ensure the proper design and installation of your renewable energy system.

Can Whole House Fans Help You Keep Your Cool?

Breathe easy and save green with a whole house fan from Renewable Energy NW! This ingenious system harnesses the power of nature to transform your home into a cool and refreshing haven. Imagine stepping inside after a long day to a gentle breeze that washes away the day’s heat, all without cranking up the AC and racking up your energy bills.

A whole house fan isn’t quite magic but you might question that after you experience the difference! By strategically drawing in cooler evening air through open windows, it pushes out the stale, hot air trapped inside. This creates a delightful cross-ventilation that cools your entire home naturally. Think of it as a giant sigh of relief for your stuffy house!

But the benefits extend far beyond a cool breeze! Whole house fans are incredibly energy-efficient! Unlike air conditioners that guzzle power, these fans use minimal electricity, significantly reducing your energy consumption and saving you money on those monthly bills. It’s a win-win for your wallet and the environment! How much? Get in Touch Contact Us!

Moreover, whole house fans promote healthy living! By constantly circulating air, they help remove allergens, dust, and even airborne pollutants, creating a cleaner and more breathable environment for you and your family. This is especially beneficial for allergy sufferers who can finally enjoy a breath of fresh air indoors.

And let’s not forget the simple joy of natural ventilation! There’s something inherently calming about feeling a cool breeze wafting through your home. It replaces the sterile, artificial coolness of AC with a refreshingly natural experience that soothes the senses and promotes a good night’s sleep.

Now, whole house fans aren’t a magic bullet for every climate…They work best in drier regions with cooler nights – so in Idaho we’re particularly fortunate! It’s an investment that pays off in cooler temperatures, lower energy bills, and a healthier, more comfortable home environment. So, ditch the stuffy air and embrace the natural breeze – a whole house fan might be the perfect solution for your home! Renewable Energy NW has the skill and experience in installing whole house fans that you will want – get in touch today to find out how much you can save this Summer!

More Than Great Solar Power!

More than just a source for great solar thermal flooring, solar hot water, and even solar power in Idaho – the RENW team offers more!
While we got our start in providing solar thermal here in the Northwest we’ve grown to offer even more energy saving services for your home and business. We start by taking a look at what your actual energy needs may be, that includes how much power you are currently using as well as prospective future needs, before we ever start measuring your roof or talking about how many panels you need.

Sometimes the solution doesn’t involve solar!
We strive to make our energy options not only effective but affordable because we know how important saving on monthly power costs can be and we also know how even small changes can make a big difference when that power bill shows up.

Once we know how much energy your home or business needs we put together an whole system plan to provide you with the power you need at the best cost possible by combining multiple solutions. This may include solar PV, solar thermal, as well as whole house ventilation, and various small energy upgrades to your overall system.

As we move into the Spring and Summer months our Whole House Fans will become an especially popular solution for our customers!

Few people realize how important the circulation of air throughout your home can be. These powerful – but silent – fans provide unparalleled efficiency in keeping the air in your home fresh as well as regulating the temperature. In cold months your home traps hot air in the attic where you can’t use it to feel warm. In the warm months that same hot attic air keeps your home from venting and being as cool as it could be. Our Whole House Fans keep the air moving where you want it, cutting the costs of adjusting the temperature in your home!

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!
