McClurg Remodeling and Construction Services is pleased to introduce Central New York homeowners and small businesses to an affordable way to "go green" with solar water heating systems from VELUX, a global leader in skylights and other solar technologies for more than 65 years.
"Solar water heating is a proven technology that works in all climates, even right here in Central New York," says Brian Ciota, vice president, McClurg Remodeling and Construction Services. "With a solar water heater, your water heating bills should drop 50-to-80 percent and, thanks to generous federal and state tax credits, payback can be as little as three years."
VELUX solar water heating systems use the sun's energy as a source of heat to produce hot water for domestic use. Homeowners will appreciate the system's aesthetically pleasing low-profile "roof integrated" solar panels that look just like skylights. Copper tubes carry solution heated by the sun to a storage tank located inside the home or business. Water in the tank is heated by the solution, which recirculates to the rooftop solar collectors.
"By using the sun to heat water, this green technology reduces the owner's energy expenses, as well as their carbon footprint," says Ciota.
McClurg's professional installers have extensive experience working in Central New York homes and businesses, and have completed advanced training to ensure delivery of fast, reliable installations of all VELUX solar water heating systems.
