• How can the wind fulfill my electricity needs?       Wind turbines are turned by the wind, generating electricity as the turbine blades turn a magnet inside a coil of wire. 
• How much wind is necessary to generate electricity?       The minimum wind speed is 7 mph for most rotors.  Most structures will impede the air flow close to the ground, so most wind rotors are mounted on a tall tower.  The wind speed is much higher when the rotor is raised off of the ground.  Of course, the greater the wind speed, the more electricity will be produced
• How much electricity is supplied by wind power systems?       A wind turbine can lower the average energy consumption of a home by 50-90%.  The average home uses 1,000-2,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month.  There are a wide array of wind power options to meet most needs.
• Is wind power suitable for me?       Wind turbines tend to be very large devices, completely unsuitable for urban settings.  A minimum lot size of one acre is recommended to accommodate the tower(s) and rotor(s).
• Is wind power the correct choice for my energy needs?       It is generally recommended that you have a wind speed of at least 10 mph and you pay more than $0.10 per kilowatt-hour for electricity from the utility company.  To determine the wind speed in your area, consult this map.
• Are these systems reliable?      Our brands of turbines and electrical components are the most reliable available on the market.  The turbines have very few moving parts, making regular maintenance unnecessary.  Our premium turbines are designed to last 30 years or more!
• How are these systems environmentally friendly?       Wind turbine systems do not produce any pollution.  These systems reduce your dependency on and  consumption of utility generated power.  Over a thirty year period, a wind system will offset approximately 1.2 tons of air pollutants and 200 tons of greenhouse gases.
• Will I have to re-wire my house to add a wind system?       No, a wind system can be easily integrated into any existing power system.
• Will the utility companies allow me to add a wind power system?       The utility companies are required by Federal law to allow such an installation.  They are also required to pay for any excess electricity that is contributed to their system.  Different states have different incentive programs for using alternative energy systems, so please check your local and state laws.
• How much do wind systems cost?       a 10 kW turbine system costs ~$30,000 including shipping and installation. 
• Is it really worth such a large investment?       Areas with higher energy prices and higher wind speeds will benefit more than those living in areas where electricity is cheap and the wind speed is low.  Wind systems will generally pay for themselves within 6-15 years, making these systems a wise investment for a house.  Providing your own power will make you immune to electricity rate hikes and allow you to sell power at a premium if you generate an excess.
• Who will install a wind system?       We can refer you to authorized installers in your area or you can have it installed yourself.
