Should I Install Solar on my Park City or Deer Valley Home?
Should I Install Solar on my Park City or Deer Valley Home?
Let’s face it, heating and cooling your Park City Real Estate can be expensive. Frigid winters and hot summers have your systems running to the max. Many Deer Valley homes, homes for sale in the Colony, Empire Pass real estate, and even some smaller single-family homes in Park City have radiant heating systems for driveways, flooring and not to mention hot tubs, expansive floor plans, substantial hot water demands, multiple refrigerators, golf simulators, and the list goes on and on. Though many of these systems run off natural gas boilers and water heaters, the case for a Solar System in your home is growing.
So is adding a solar system worth it in Park City or Deer Valley? We believe it is, and not just for financial reasons. Park City and Vail Resorts are going green. Park City is committed to run on 100% renewable electricity for city operations by 2022, and for the whole community by 2030. Vail Resorts, with a similar pledge - a zero net operating footprint by 2030. The commitments are to keep our skies blue, the air fresh, and snow for our winter sports.
