Home Wind And Solar Power
Adding an additional power source to your home or even replacing a traditional gas or electric system with solar panels or wind turbines is an alternative for many homeowners today.
Installing Solar or Wind power units for your home can not only help save you dollars on your heating and electric bills, but help save the planet. As more and more people use greener solutions for energy production in the household, it is creating a more sustainable ecology for the world.
One of the options that many people are looking into is building your own windmill or wind power system. The DIY or do it yourself models have been big sellers and are quite popular, as they provide the means to getting your own home wind power but also can save on the cost significantly as well.
The range of the cost varies greatly and can be anywhere from several hundred dollars to over $20,000 for a particular system, depending on your needs.
It all depends on how much energy you are using and where your home is and the environment of your area in particular. In a very urban and crowded area it will not be as effective as it would in a rural and more open environment as the city and urban areas tend to limit the amount of energy that can be created by such windmill units.
Very rarely, if ever, do these home wind turbines generate enough power to eliminate the need for gas and oil, but they can reduce your bills and also lower your carbon footprint significantly, which is important to many as well as saving money.

Mobile homes are just like any other home. It depends on how well you manage your electricity. They are actually insulated well, but paneling in some homes won’t do much for keeping the cold out.
I’m remodeling a place. My first bill with all the leaks, shotty work, holes in the floor, walls, ceilings was almost 200. I hear people around here say "Oh yeah, My bills in the winter are 2-300"…. That’s just ridiculous. Wasteful. Stupid.
I did a little work and my next bill was just under 100 bucks. It’s spring so my bill is usually about 40 bucks.
This can all happen in any other home, mobile or not. Just be aware of maintenance issues like air leaks and bad doors. You decide how big your bill is, not the type of home you live in.
I have mine averaged ant its still $175.
What’s the age, insulation, size, climate, rate/kwh, windows, number of people, appliances.
No one can estimate what you will use.
