We’ve expanded our services to include mini-split heat pump installations. This is a significant and complimentary move for us, where we remain focused on renewable energy and energy efficiency.
Here's why this expansion makes perfect sense, and is good news for homeowners in Southwest Colorado:
Complementary Technologies: Solar generates clean electricity, and mini-split heat pumps are highly efficient electric heating and cooling systems. By offering both, we can provide a more comprehensive and holistic energy solution for local homes and businesses. You can generate your own power with solar, and then use that clean power to efficiently heat and cool your space with a heat pump. This maximizes the benefits of renewable energy.
Increased Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps are known for their incredible efficiency compared to traditional heating and cooling systems, especially in moderate climates like Southwest Colorado. By integrating with solar, customers can achieve even greater energy independence and lower utility bills.
Electrification Trend: There's a growing trend towards electrifying homes and reducing reliance on fossil fuels like natural gas and propane. Heat pumps are a key technology in this transition, and we are positioning ourselves to meet this growing demand.
Master Electrician Expertise: Shaw Solar employs both Master Electricians and Master Plumbers, and have multiple licensed electricians on staff. This electrical, plumbing, and general construction expertise is directly transferable and highly valuable for installing and integrating heat pump systems.
Streamlined Customer Experience: Instead of dealing with separate contractors for solar installation and HVAC upgrades, customers can now work with a single company for a more integrated and efficient process.
Durango's Climate: Durango experiences both warm summers and cold winters. Mini-split heat pumps are very effective in both heating and cooling, making them ideal for the local climate.
LPEA Rebates: La Plata Electric Association (LPEA) offers rebates for the installation of heat pumps and mini-split systems. Shaw Solar's offering of these systems allows their customers to take advantage of these local incentives, further enhancing the financial benefits.
This expansion demonstrates Shaw Solar's commitment to being a full-service provider in the renewable energy and energy efficiency space in Southwest Colorado. It allows us to offer a more complete package for homeowners and businesses looking to reduce their energy consumption, lower their carbon footprint, and achieve greater energy independence.
