Freier’s Electric and Heating can help you decide if a wind turbine would be an effective way to generate electricity on your site. Now is a great time to reduce your carbon footprint by exploring the renewable and sustainable power that you can produce with wind. As a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, there is a 30% federal tax credit on the cost of a wind turbine and its installation.  A Wind Site Assessment is the first step to gathering the information needed to make an informed choice about the use of wind technology. The report will give you all the information you need to make an informed decision about using wind at your home. And if your utility participates with Wisconsin’s Focus On Energy you should start by requesting a coupon for a 50% reimbursement coupon for the assessment by going to focusonenergy.com. In addition, the assessment makes you eligible for a Focus on Energy Cash Back Reward should you decide a wind turbine is viable for you. The cash back reward is in addition to the tax credit, and can be up to 25% of the cost of the system up to $35,000. Customers outside Focus should still have an assessment to make sure wind makes sense at their site. Call Freier’s Electric and Heating and discuss your renewable energy goals with us at 715-273-3658.
