The Wendler family researched and carefully selected a reputable solar contractor, PPM Solar, to install a solar energy system on their home, which has saved them money on energy bills and reduced their carbon footprint.
The Wendler’s Energy-Efficient Home & Solar
Chris Wendler and his wife Carol, residents of Gainesville, Florida, had long been interested in installing a solar energy system for their home. However, before making that investment, they wanted to ensure that their home was as energy efficient as possible to maximize the benefits of solar energy. To achieve this, they weatherized it to reduce energy waste and updated a few appliances to ensure higher efficiency with lower energy use.
Weathering a home is essential in reducing energy waste and saving money. By sealing gaps and cracks in a home’s exterior, the escape of warm or cool air becomes minimized, making it easier to maintain a comfortable temperature inside. Doing so means that the heating and cooling systems will work less frequently, using less energy and consequently saving on energy bills. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, weatherizing a home can save an average of 10 to 20 percent on heating and cooling bills.
The Wendler family realized the importance of weatherizing their home before installing a solar energy system. They understood that solar energy could be more effective and beneficial if their home were as efficient as possible. They took the necessary steps to weatherize their home, including sealing gaps or cracks and updating some appliances to higher efficiency models. Their efforts resulted in a more energy-efficient home, maximizing the benefits of their solar energy system.
In addition to the financial benefits, weatherizing a home can significantly impact the environment. By reducing energy waste, less energy is required from power plants, which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, weatherizing a home can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 1,000 pounds annually. Weatherizing benefits the homeowner financially and contributes to a cleaner, healthier planet.
The Wendlers’ Path to a Sustainable Future with Solar
Chris and Carol Wendler are not content with using solar energy merely for their home. They want to take their commitment to sustainable living one step further. After the success of their solar installation, the couple began to examine the possibility of purchasing an electric vehicle in the future. By doing so, they would reduce their carbon footprint even further and become less dependent on fossil fuels and the local utility company.
By switching to an electric vehicle, the Wendlers could reduce their annual carbon footprint by an average of 4.6 metric tons of CO2. In addition to the environmental benefits, owning an electric vehicle can save money in the long run. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average electric vehicle owner can save up to $1,000 per year on fuel costs compared to a gas-powered car.
Moreover, the Wendlers plan to charge their electric vehicle using solar panels on their home. Doing so will reduce their dependence on fossil fuels and save money on energy bills. With an electric car charged with solar energy, the Wendlers can rest assured that their transportation is powered by clean, renewable energy. The family is proud to have made these environmentally conscious choices and hopes to inspire others to do the same. They believe we can all significantly impact our planet’s future by taking small steps toward sustainable living.
Furthermore, PPM Solar will install an EV charger for the Wendler family when they decide to purchase their electric vehicle. PPM’s experienced team will ensure the charger is installed correctly and integrated with the solar energy system. This upgrade will allow the Wendlers to charge their electric car using clean energy from their solar panels, further reducing their carbon footprint and reliance on non-renewable energy sources. The Wendlers are excited to continue their journey towards sustainable living with the help of PPM Solar’s expertise and commitment to transparency and exceptional service.
