Because of the recurring demand for this type of house tour, Plainville , Connecticut will again be the site of comprehensive free solar tours at 2 Seneca Rd. on Saturday, October 4, 2014. As part of THE NATIONAL SOLAR HOME TOUR, the tours of this retrofit 1960 ranch house will be held from 12 noon to 4 PM. Experts on installation, heating and cooling, and financing will be available for discussion. In addition to tours of this smart solar financing house, literature will be available and fabulous electric cars will be on display (Chevy Volt, Toyota Prius, Tesla and Nissan Leaf).
The owners refinanced their house to pay for this project. Now they invest in their dream to become a NET ZERO energy home. By removing oil and most of their electric bills, they freed up money in their monthly budget. With this extra money, they plan to repay their mortgage. Oil and electricity provided service but no equity. They can now invest in the financial stability of their family while benefitting the planet. After tax credits and rebates, using a conservative four percent cost escalation, the family plans to have a complete recovery of their investment in less than seven years!
