    Contractor's "Top Notch"

To complement the energy efficient ICF structure we can provide for you - we are also pleased to be able to offer EnerWorks Solar Water Heating Appliances.  These appliances are suitable for both new or replacement residential applications and operate as the primary source of your hot water.  Your existing electric, natural gas, propane or oil hot water heater then functions as a backup heating source. For a list of approved Enerworks Installers - Click Here!

An average household can generate an average of 2 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year using traditional water heating sources.  The use of Enerworks Solar Water Heating Appliances can help to reduce emissions of these harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and help to limit the effects of climate change.

Solar Hot Water Appliances are one of the most cost-effective renewable energy systems on the market today.  In North American, an average person can use approximately 70 litres of hot water per day.  This equals approx. 3600 kwH use per year for water heating.  A home with a Solar Hot Water Appliance can save a family of four approximately 50% on their hot water costs, and helps contribute to a cleaner environment.  If you participate in the Natural Resources Canada's  ecoENERGY home retrofit program, you may be eligible to receive a $1,250 rebate from your purchase of a Solar Hot Water Appliance.  For residents of Ontario, the provincial government will match this incentive, for a total rebate of $2,500 if you participate in the ecoENERGY home retrofit program.

Announced March 31, 2009:
"The new EcoEnergy program offers a $1,250 rebate, up dramatically from $500
under the old program.  A matching rebate from the province means the purchase of a residential solar hot-water system can get back $2,500 on a purchase that ranges in cost from $6,000 to $9,000, including installation.

"It's meant to increase the market penetration of renewable technology, and specifically solar hot water," explained Louise Roux at the ministry's office of energy efficiency.

On top of all rebates, Raitt reminded homeowners they can qualify next tax season for the Home Renovation Tax Credit, which amounts to getting 15 per cent back from the cost of a home renovation in 2009, up to a maximum of $1,350."
