Could it be the fear of hassle or unknown complications that make most DMV residents “stagnant” about choices of alternative renewable energy? Besides mere contentment on current situations, everyone should become more educated about the renewable energy options available to them – especially with the likelihood of them benefiting by saving money on their current energy expenses. As we all continue to be more conscious about wasting energy in our homes we should consider and make inquiries about alternative renewable energy resources. Switching to alternative renewable energy resources such as Solar or Wind are available options to the majority of homeowners.
There are affordable solar installers, wind RECs service providers or energy audit technicians that would love to help anyone to streamline their energy accounts and conserve energy in their households. A few minutes of your time to consult reliable providers such as Clean Currents or Kenergy solar on considerations about electricity supply options will help and educate you on making the right choice.
A D.C resident recently made a complete switch to 100% wind RECs as his energy supplier instead of using PEPCO. The following process lead to him switching to a renewable energy provider:
- Examined current billing charges of cents per KWH (pepco, BGE, etc.)
- Inquired and compared rates from renewable energy provider ( Clean Currents)
- Considered the options available within budget from the renewable energy provider (most likely will have lower rates for residents when compared to local utility company)
- Proceeded with switching process ( simple sign up with energy billing documents)
- Confirmation from parties involved about successful transition and other important information
The transition the resident described was simpler than expected – and I believe others would say the same. As we gradually roll into colder season, so does most budgets adjust and you may see an increase in your utility bills due to heating your home. However, on the other hand if you switch to an alternative renewable energy supplier you can have a lower fixed rate no matter the season. It is alarming to know how far-back we are when it comes to this aspect of technology growth – east coast in general. But the numbers are changing; and it should when there are no significant reasons for staying in an “old system”.
Nothing is perfect nor would anything improve without series of hurdles. Solar energy and wind RECs are reliable energy with good causes and incentives – not to mention a good investment. One important notion about going green is living smart. There is no sense in making these changes in your homes when there isn’t any discipline on daily activities concerning energy usage.
An affordable energy audit will do more than tell you what you might already know but it will also give you specific individual assessments for necessary changes while educating you in the process. Making these choices or having inquired about different alternative energy considerations is one step towards smart green living for all DMV residents.
