When you’re trying to learn how to transition to clean and renewable energy for your home, you may come across many terminologies that sound great but make no practical sense. We’ll make it simple for you: you can use the sun for energy and food growth; filters to keep your house’s airflow clean; and even the natural geothermal energy around you to heat your house. Discover more opportunities for converting to clean energy below.
Use the Sun
You can use the sun to create electricity by installing solar panels on your home, which absorb the energy from the sun and turn it into electricity to power your house. Solar panels can save you upwards of a thousand dollars a year on your electricity bill.
Use Filters in Your Home
Filters prevent dirt from affecting the airflow in any environment, protecting the coils in the HVAC system from needing replacement. We carry individual filters and 6- and 12-packs of pleated furnace filters to aid your transition.
Use Wind Turbines
Just like solar panels, wind turbines can create renewable energy. When the blades spin, they convert the wind into energy that you can use. You’ll usually find wind turbines in rural areas or on farmland. They’re great for the environment because they don’t pollute the air or water.
Use Geothermal Energy
Another way to transition to renewable energy is to use geothermal energy, which allows you to draw on renewable energy from the ground and generate electricity and heat. The technology used to distribute geothermal energy can be applied in a variety of ways. The most common use is to heat homes, and other people use it to create electricity.
Convert Biomass
Lastly, you can convert biomass using direct combustion. Biomass includes crops, alcohol fuel, landfill gases, wood, and garbage. Using biomass as energy can heat water in buildings.
There’s always a better energy source out there. Talk to the professionals when you’re thinking about implementing some new best practices for your household.
