Alternative Energy
Advanced Living Homes looks to the future by providing information on the technology available today and on the horizon for reducing your dependency on electricity purchased from your provider.
It's a very exciting time right now. What was considered too "out there" in cost and convenience for generating your own energy for your new home is now becoming much more accessible and, most importantly, more cost-effective.
Below are some of the energy sources we're working with developers and suppliers to bring into the average New Zealand home:
- Solar electricity using plastic or "paint-on" technology to make the whole of the roof and even walls become a lower-cost photo-voltaic generator
- Small scale hydro-electriciy using in-stream impeller turbines for those close to water sources
- Solar water heating using evacuated tubes for higher efficiency
- Geothermal small scale bore technology to provide the energy for ground-source heat pumps
- Small-scale "urban turbines" which allow wind to provide power for your new home without the tall towers normally needed
- Sterling engine technology
So, call us today to find out more about how we can help you pay less for electricity for your new home when you build with us.
