Lisa asks…
I want to have a house built and want the smartest features available. What is the best roofing materials for a house (shingles, metal?)? What is the most efficient heating out there today (baseboard, radiant floor,other?) Are solar panels really worth the cost of upkeep and repair? Any websites that rate home features? It seems there is a lot of crap out there but some really good ideas too.
Henry Dover answers:
Ground source heat pump hooked up to your water heater. You get efficient heating and cooling and most of your hot water will be free.
Donald asks…
I need a new roof soon and I was wondering what the difference in cost would be from a standard shingle roof to a roof including solar panels. Does anyone know the cost difference?
Henry Dover answers:
The solar panels are very expensive to provide much power. If u go that way do not skimp on the support as a high wind will blow them away. In Ecuador I put in a remote site for communications. It was working good when a Strong wind blew $10.000 worth of solar panels all over the jungle.
