If you’re looking for ways to save money and would like the added bonus of being environmentally friendly, using wind energy might be just what you were looking for.

While it’s true that many people will say that installing your own home wind turbine is a waste of money, the evidence seems to suggest that’s a wrong assumption.

A homeowner can save, on average, up to 60% off of their utility bill by installing a wind turbine.
That’s alot and can add up especially over the years.

If you’re thinking that turbines are ugly, big, monstrosities, you might be pleasantly surprised to learn that they can come in different sizes and even different shapes. Some of them are even pretty and look like modern art sculptures!

The cost of a wind turbine can vary greatly depending on the size and whether you buy one or build one. Obviously, as with most things, if you hire someone to do it for you or you buy a pre-built turbine it will cost you more. Most turbines sell for anywhere between $600 all the way up to $10,000.

If you build your own, on the other hand, it will cost a few hundred dollars on average and take just a few days to build.

Either way, if you build your own or buy one, you may be eligible for a tax credit of up to 30% of the cost of the turbine. And with a projected utility savings of up to 60% you’ll be able to recoup your investment fairly quickly.

It really doesn’t matter which route you choose, build your own or buy one, either way it’s a smart move to use wind energy to help you save money as well as be kind to the planet. It’s the ultimate win/win.

With the economy in such a shambles and millions of American families scrambling just to keep their heads above water, it might seem like just too much effort to worry about the environment right now. The thing is, it can actually put some money in your pocket by going green and ‘worrying about the environment’. I’ll show you how.

No matter what paper, magazine, or t.v. show, you look at you’ll see something about becoming more environmentally friendly. There’s so much information in fact that it can get confusing and overwhelming. Don’t let it get to you. There are dozens of simple things you can do today, that will save you money.

Just keep your car tuned up, your tires inflated, clean the air filters on your furnace, let the sun come in during the cold winter months, etc. These are simple changes that can add up and you can start today.

If you are in a position to make some big changes, changes that will take some time and cost some money, you should consider building and using your own wind turbine. This can help you cut down on the amount of electricity you have to buy up to 60%. That will add up to a huge savings, now and in the future.

You can buy a wind turbine for anywhere from $600 and up. That is a viable option but with such a big upfront expenditure it will take you longer to recoup your investment. You may also be eligible for a tax credit of up to 30% if you go this route.

Or, you could build your own turbine in a few days for a few hundred dollars.

It doesn’t matter which option you choose, by installing and using your own wind turbine, not only will you be going green, you’ll be saving green too!

Wind Power

Jun 20, 2010

Not only is the United States government getting into the act of using renewable energy sources, but today’s major corporations are being motivated to latch onto this amazing renewable energy source. You and I know it as the common every day breeze, which blows around us, when we step outside our home or place of business. Just think about it for a minute and you will soon realize you have taken advantage of this renewable wind power source your whole life.

If you enjoy going sailing, you simply hoist the sail on your ketch or a much bigger sloop and off you go. As a matter of fact wind power was the only power known to mankind for thousands of centuries. Then when you stop and think about it, when you were just a kid, you found yourself using the blowing breeze to cool yourself down. In fact the only air conditioner for everyone was the wind.

Now thanks to new technology, not only can you use the breeze again for cooling your home, but you can use it to furnish the majority of the electrical power you need to run the lights, appliances, heating and air conditioning units in your home.

If you noticed I used the term new technology above, but really this technology has been around for more years than you and I can count. Do you know what it’s called? Sure you do, the “Windmill”,

You know one of the simplest ways for you and me to cut our electric bill dramatically is to use the simplest of

I don’t know about you, but as far as I’m concerned somethings gotta give. Our pay stays the same, or goes down, yet every other cost for the average household keeps going up. If you need some relief here is a list of some simple things you can do to cut your energy bills starting today.

Of course everyone knows that cutting your electric bill isn’t just good for you, it’s good for the planet since you are using less electricity and the harmful emissions it generates.

So you can get a two-for-one, follow the simple steps below and you will cut your electric bill, and help the environment:

1. Let Mother Nature cool and warm your home. You can easily and cheaply install solar panels and/or wind turbines. But even if you don’t want to do that you can still use the power of the wind and sun.

On breezy days open your windows and allow the breeze to cool your home. In the winter let the sun shine in and let it help warm your home. These two things can go a long way to a lower electric bill and they’re easy and free.

2. Keep the heat in and the cold out, or vice a versa depending on the season. Using inexpensive insulation and window kits will help keep your house from leaking.

Most of us remember our parents yelling at us to close the door because, “I’m not paying to heat/cool the outside!”. The same thing applies now, adding insulation, new windows, window coverings, etc are just a few of the simple things you can do to help lower your energy bill.

Use these common sense and easy to follow steps to cut your energy bills starting today. You don’t have to limit yourself to these things, there are many other things you can start doing right now.

DIY Wind Turbine

Jun 16, 2010

For many of us struggling to pay our ever increasing bills, the prospect of saving money on our utility bills is extremely attractive. If you’ve been thinking of using wind power as a cheap renewable energy source than you’ve made a good choice.

Building a DIY wind turbine is something that virtually anyone can do. You can even get the kids involved and make it a family project. It’ll provide you all with family time while teaching your kids the importance of being environmentally responsible.

Building a turbine can be a way to help you save money, but it’s not practical for everyone.

Here is a list of some things you’ll need to consider when trying to decide if a wind turbine makes sense for you:

1. Building a turbine is cheap,usually no more than $200. Buying a turbine is expensive, around $1,000 and up.

2. You don’t need special tools or skills to build your own turbine. You will need a set of easy to follow plans.

3. All the materials you’ll need to make your turbine can be found at any home improvement center.

4. A small home turbine can save you about 80% on your utility bills but it won’t provide all the energy your home needs.

5. How much energy your turbine can provide will depend on how many obstructions that may block the wind from your turbine as well as how much wind you get where you live.

For many people building a DIY wind turbine is a smart move. It’s cheap to build, it can provide over half of the energy the average household needs, and it’s environmentally friendly.

I hope this list has given you all the information you need to make up your mind as to whether or not a turbine makes sense for you.

Even though energy costs are starting to moderate somewhat since last year, many homeowners are looking for ways to save more money on utility bills as well as help the planet.

Building a DIY wind turbine can really help you accomplish both goals. With todays technology a home sized turbine is cheap to build yet can supply up to 60% of the energy your home needs. Of course this can vary depending on how much wind you get.

Turbines have come a long way since the traditional windmill style turbines we’ve all become familiar with. They now come in different sizes as well as different shapes, such as a vertical turbine.

These vertical style turbines can actually look a little like an art sculpture.

A lot of people think that it is just too expensive to have a turbine for home use. That may be true if you’re planning on buying one, but you can easily build a turbine that will be just as effective as the ones you can buy, yet it will only cost you $200 to build.

The materials you’ll need to build your turbine can be found at your local home improvement center. Building your turbine shouldn’t take any more than a day or so.

You can use the same plans for a vertical or traditional windmill style turbine. A vertical turbine does have some advantages over the windmill style.

For one thing with a vertical style you can have more blades. That will enable the turbine to work ever at lower wind speeds.

A vertical turbine won’t take up as much room, even though it has more blades, as a windmill style turbine.

If you’ve been wondering if a DIY wind turbine was something you should do, I hope I’ve given you enough information so that you can make up your mind.
