If you have been wondering whether it is time to finally install solar or a heat pump or many other energy saving technologies but you have some questions, the American Solar Energy Socity’s National Solar Home Tour is a great opportunity to hear from people who live with these green systems.

● Geothermal

● Heat pump water heaters

● Air to air or air to water heat pumps for space heating

● Electric vehicles

● Super insulated homes
