If you could have it, would you want a home that is not only energy-efficient, but also produces its own power? I have one for you in Litchfield, CT. This is a Zero Energy Home (ZEH). It is connected to the local electric utility and occasionally uses power from it. What makes it unique is that it sometimes generates enough power on its own to send some back to the utility company. On a yearly basis, a ZEH produces enough energy to offset the cost of the energy it purchased with energy it sends back to the utility. That means a net-zero annual energy bill.
Because of a smart builder, improved and green building methods, along with some great green products, this home is energy-efficient and available in Lichtfield, CT. The secret to the sustainable energy the proud owner of this home would enjoy is 12,000 watts of solar roof panels, solar domestic hot water, passive solar heat collecting tile floors, cellulose insulation, maintenance free siding, and a house situated on the property to take advantage of the power of
the sun. On a cloudy day or in the evening, the home can get power from the local utility. On a sunny day when everyone is off to work the home can send back the excess energy it is creating. I say AWESOME!!!!!
In all my green fog about the energy features of the home I forgot to say that it is a beautiful place to live as well. It is a 2,760 square foot Colonial Saltbox on 5.6 private acres. 4 bedroom, 3.5baths, loft/office area, and full walk-out basement. Check out the listing and tell Laurel Gallaway from William Raveis in Lichtfield that JEFF sent you. I WANT ONE!CLICK HERE FOR PRICE AND PICTURES.
