Solar powered homes

We integrates cutting-edge solar power solutions into our custom home packages, ensuring that your dream home is not only beautifully crafted but also energy-efficient and sustainable

You get to decide what works best for you. We will help.

Most property owners ask how long it will take for the system to pay back the upfront costs of the installation. On average, it takes around 7-11 years. The time it takes to recover your investment depends on the price of electricity; it may vary depending on your location

Currently, solar panels typically last about 30 years. They require low maintenance—mainly snow removal.

Energy efficient homes

Below is a lot of technical information! Don’t worry if you are not familiar with industry terms. There is a lot to tell you about Infill Homes and Net-Zero Homes, please keep reading, and get in touch at anytime!

Infill homes are a wonderful option for people who appreciate investment potential in urban areas. If you are considering building an infill home, Variety Finishing can help. We have the resources on our team, from the demolition of an old house to the exciting day when we walk you through your brand new home.

This concept is growing in popularity as homeowners consider their impact and energy consumption. A net-zero home generates as much energy as it uses. It is designed to be up to 80 per cent more efficient than traditionally-built homes.

How do net-zero homes reduce energy consumption?

When possible, strategic placement allows this type of home to take best advantage of natural warmth and sunlight.

These homes are built airtight, and insulated to regulate heat flow year-round. You’ll be warm in the winter, but cool in the summer.

With high efficiency HVAC systems and appliances, this type of home can keep energy use to a minimum.

An on-site energy generator helps regulate usage and cost for the home. Often, that means using solar panels for energy production. Solar power can run lighting, HVAC systems, hot water heaters, and appliances.

Solar panels store extra energy in a battery. Use the power later, or sell it back to the energy company, which will redirect back to the grid.

What?

Yes, really. It sounds like science fiction, doesn’t it? We’d love to tell you more about this exciting, innovative trend.

Basically, as electricity rates rise, homeowners face a choice. They can pay higher energy costs, or reduce their energy consumption from the grid. To do this, they can either reduce their energy usage, or produce their own energy.

Both options can save money in the long run, but require investment of time and money.
