Are you considering a new HVAC system for your Chesapeake Bay area home? While you're considering new systems, keep in mind the solar heating and cooling option. An industry professional can help you determine if your home is eligible to be retro-fitted for a solar HVAC system.
Solar heating and cooling systems work off of solar panels. Solar panels, or modules, need to be placed either on a roof or in an open space on the ground. Both options require a south-facing exposure for the panels to draw and convert the sun's energy to usable electric energy. One of the first considerations is whether or not you have southern sun exposure available with enough space to install the correct number of panels for your home's electric usage.
Another key question is whether or not installing a solar heating and cooling system is in compliance with your town or HOA's build codes. If there are plans that must be submitted and approved or specific guidelines that must be followed, determine this before proceeding any further.
By far the best course of action to take, when researching solar heating and cooling systems, is to hire a reputable, licensed HVAC company with solar heating and cooling experience to answer your questions and advise you about the right system for your home.
