Green Building with Renewable Energy is Affordable
As the leader in affordable green building, Tim O'Brien Homes is proud to incorporate Renewable Energy Solutions in more of our homes than any other builder in Southeast Wisconsin. By investing in renewable energy now, considerable amounts of money can be saved in the long run. Plus, Federal Tax Credits may be available to offset initial costs. Consider adding these renewable features to your new home and do something good for your wallet, your home, and the earth:
Geothermal Heating and Cooling (HVAC) – A home with Geothermal HVAC does not require a traditional fossil fuel furnace or air conditioner unit. Instead, geothermal units use clean renewable energy found about 8 ft below the ground around the home by extracting the earth's energy to heat and cool the home. This system is up to 400% more efficient than a fossil fuel system and can save up to 70% on utility costs; providing more comfortable and even tempered air within the home. In addition, a geothermal system can also be used for radiant floor heating and pre-heating domestic water to reduce waterheater energy use.

Photovoltaics – Imagine your home generating the energy that can power your neighbors' homes. Your home can off-set energy consumption with Solar Electric Photovoltaic Panels. The panels convert some of the sun's rays into electrical energy using the visible spectrum of the sun's energy. This electrical energy is then sold back to the utility company and will reduce or in some cases, even element monthly electrical bills.
Solar Hot Water – Solar panels are not only used to generate electricity, the energy can also be used to heat hot water for your home. A solar hot water system has one of the highest conversion efficiencies and has a predictable return on your investment.
