Lennox is the first HVAC manufacturer to harness renewable solar power as an energy source for central heating and cooling, and beyond. Here are a few interesting facts regarding Solar Power:
- The exciting new system provides the simplest way for homeowners to bring solar power into the home to save on their utility bills. It harnesses solar energy to reduce the electricity consumed by a residential heat pump or air conditioner – and can also use that energy to operate other home electronic devices, such as lighting and appliances, when the heating and cooling system is not running. If the system generates more power than the home uses, that power goes back to the utility company – potentially entitling the homeowner to a utility bill credit.
- Homeowners can start with just a couple of solar modules, and eventually add up to 15 modules per outdoor unit for added energy savings. A system communications module allows homeowners and contractors to monitor operation, energy production and environmental benefits (like carbon offset) online. Once the system is fully set up,homeowners can expect to see a reduction in their utility bills.
- On top of utility incentives, the new system makes homeowners eligible for federal and state tax credits that can significantly reduce the cost of solar modules, including installation. Typical incentives will vary by location and can range between 30 percent (federal only) to more than 90 percent (combined) in some areas.
