As energy prices continue rising through 2008 with no end in sight the consumers and business owners we speak with ask what can be done to reduce the burden that is being felt in the pocketbook.
Energy is a basic necessity of household life which affects young and old, rich and poor. Rising energy costs have been attributed, in part, to the downturn in the economy.
The US government tells us to expect prices to continue to rise.
As people allocate more money to fuel oil, gas and electric they have less disposable income to spend in other area.
What can be done to reduce the burden of rising energy costs?
At Contractors Building Supply our response is always the same. First, we discuss energy saving changes a business or home owner can make to reduce the amount of energy required. It all starts with energy conservation.
Then our discussion comes around to Hot Water! Hot water accounts for the second highest utility cost in homes, bed and breakfasts, restaurants, hotels, motels, microbrews, gyms and the list goes on.
By heating your water with the sun you will be able to reduce your energy bills. Our clients are always smiling when the sun is shining!

How Does Solar Hot Water Work?
Solar hot water “works” by using energy from the sun to heat your water. You will be happy to know it is a very simple system! There are no moving parts so your solar hot water system will enjoy a long life!
Think about how hot the garden hose gets when it is laying in the sun. How about your car? How hot is it when you get in it to drive home from a long day at work?
Those examples are the effects of the sun transferring thermal
energy, felt as heat!
A solar hot water system can be retrofitted to your current system.
The system consists of
Solar collectors with liquid that run through them. The sun heats up the liquid
A solar powered controller pumps the liquid to the hot water tank. CBS uses a controller that is runs on solar energy which saves you more money
The hot liquid tranfers the heat to the water in your tank
You have hot water to your whole house! Powered by the sun!
Our clients love to brag to us that they have water in excess of 145 degrees! All from the sun!
Our solar hot water systems are normally roof mounted. There are certain times when the best solar exposure is not on the roof due to shading or roof pitch. In those cases we have a ground mount that we design for your home or business.
