Air conditioning bills getting the best of you? Are you having a difficult time cooling your upstairs in the hot summer days? Is your air conditioning unit running non-stop just to try to cool down your home? Believe it or not, the solution to your problems may be inside your attic.
Many people don’t know this, but when it’s 90 degrees outside in our Utah desert climate, it’s probably between 125-140 degrees in your attic. Between the blazing sun pushing radiant heat into your attic space and the fact that heat naturally rises in your home, your attic becomes a heat blanket that your air conditioning unit is fighting against. I’m sure you were told by your builder that those vents in your eaves would bring in enough cool air to push the hot air out of your passive turtle vents on your roof, but they don’t provide enough airflow to sufficiently do the job.
Remove that excess heat and your air conditioning unit will not have to work so hard to cool down your home by adding a solar attic fan installation. Our expert team ensures proper solar attic fan installation, helping you reduce energy costs while improving ventilation. A solar-powered roof vent and solar attic fan provide a sustainable and efficient solution to maintain a comfortable home environment.
While many of us love our Utah snow, it is also important to recognize some of the hazards that exist in the winter time. Anyone with a steep roof, a roof prone to avalanching snow and especially solar panel owners with a steep roof, please pay attention.
As snow accumulates on your roof and on your panels, that snow starts to melt and then refreeze, causing ice accumulation underneath the snow. As that snowy ice starts to fall down your roof, it can cause avalanching. When avalanching occurs, it can cause damage to your property, vehicles or significant injury or even death to family members and pets who might be walking out their front door, onto their back deck or onto their driveway. We have customers whose gutters, garage doors, fences and vehicles were damaged. One customer even had their vehicle totalled due to avalanching snow falling onto their car in a driveway.
There are three main types of EV chargers, known as Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 (DC Fast Chargers). For residential use, Level 1 and Level 2 chargers are most relevant.
These chargers use a standard 120-volt household outlet.
They do not require any special installation.
Charging with a Level 1 charger is slow, typically adding about 3-5 miles of range per hour.
This type is suitable for plug-in hybrid vehicles or for EV owners with short daily commutes.
These chargers use a 240-volt outlet, similar to what you would use for a dryer or oven.
They require professional installation to ensure they meet electrical codes and safety standards.
Level 2 chargers are significantly faster, adding about 20-60 miles of range per hour.
They are ideal for fully electric vehicles and for homeowners who need quicker charging times.
Direct Current (DC) fast chargers, are a type of EV charging station that provide rapid charging by supplying direct current electricity directly to the battery of an electric vehicle.
This method bypasses the vehicle’s onboard charger, which is typically used in slower, alternating current (AC) charging.
DC fast chargers can charge an EV battery to 80% in about 20-40 minutes, depending on the battery capacity and the power output of the charger.
