MyEnergy Remodel
The Remodel Geared Towards Electrification
What is an Energy Remodel?
MyEnergy Remodel refers to the process of eliminating the need for fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and gas, and utilizing renewable sources like solar and wind to generate electricity.
While you may not be shoveling coal into your furnace for heat, most utility companies, including Georgia Power, utilize fossil fuels to generate the electricity used in your home, and to supplement that, you may have a natural gas heater or propane water heater in your home.
An Energy Remodel, also known as a Net-Zero upgrade/build, eliminates the need for all of these, allowing your home to use and store clean, renewable energy, mostly from solar panels on your roof.
How does it work?
While you don't need to follow all of the steps below, MyEnergy Model recommends all of them to get the most from the net-zero electrification process. This process will significantly reduce your utility bills and ensure you are 100% ready for any power interruption from your utility company.
Energy Storage Batteries
The next step in the Net-Zero process would be making sure that any electricity generated by the solar panels doesn't go to waste. With a solar backup battery, the battery stores the unused energy for later use. The backup will kick in if there is a power interruption, powering your home until power returns from your utility provider. You can also use the battery to supply extra power needed during peak hours, making sure your home stays comfortable no matter the weather.
HVAC Upgrades
Your current heating and cooling systems were probably fine for their time, but they aren't as energy-efficient as today's models.
Heat pumps are the most significant step to electrification. Instead of using a fuel-burning heater for your home, a heat pump uses electricity to heat the parts of your home that need it while removing trapped heat from the parts that don't, add to that an ultra-efficient air conditioning unit, which can monitor and adjust your home's climate much better than a traditional thermostat. Now you've got the winning combination of a house that always feels just right with the bonus of saving some of your hard-earned dollars.
Windows & Doors
Window and Door upgrades play a vital role in achieving Net-Zero homes by improving cold fronts, reducing energy loss, and maximizing the ROI for solar integration. By replacing outdated or inefficient windows and doors with modern, energy-smart materials, we help homeowners lower utility bills and create a strong foundation for clean energy solutions.
