    Untapped or renewable energy sources have a great potential to transform the way we consume energy. Almost one-fifth of electricity in the US comes from alternative energy sources. You may not know that you already use bioenergy at home. Biogas is becoming more popular among the homeowners.

    With pollution worsening and environment suffering, it’s no surprise that many people are becoming more aware of alternative energy sources. It cost you less money and has a potential to save the planet with oil prices increasing. New York City is not an exception. The city has a growing field of alternative energy resources. A variety of alternatives are available for NYC residents depending on your neighborhood.

    • Solar and wind energy;
    • Biofuels and geothermal energy;
    • Hydropower and rain

    These are just a few options available for you. People keep creating and discovering new ways of producing energy daily. This gives you freedom to choose what energy source to use based on the price and its origin. Fortunately, renewable energy is becoming more affordable. New York can offer you several great alternatives:

    Geothermal Energy

    This type of energy relies on the heat from the Earth. Geothermal heat pumps are widely available for personal use. All you need to do it is to contact any geothermal installer who will place the pump a few miles beneath the ground. It will heat or cool the building and provide you with enough hot water.

    Solar energy

    Solar water heaters or small solar panels are becoming more affordable. You can simply install them on the roof and enjoy the green energy. You can also find out more about New York solar photovoltaic plant that supplies the city with environmental friendly energy.

    Wind energy

    Wind farms are becoming the norm around the country. You can either contact a local wind energy provider or install a small wind turbine in your backyard.

    I bet you remember Hurricane Sandy and the havoc it caused. Many people were left without electricity and any means of communication for days. Some places in NYC managed to avoid this fate. Alternative energy sources provided enough power for Co-op City in NYC. This largest housing cooperative in the US is the strongest supporter of renewable energy. Its Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant provides enough clean energy for 14,000 apartments. CHP plant relies on thermal energy to produce electricity.

    Renewable energy sources require long term investment. It would not help you in saving money on the spot. You can ask an installer to estimate the price for your house. You can also find renewable energy calculators online to get a general idea on the cost.

    Tax incentives encourage people to switch to renewable sources. It’s great that local government appreciates the value of alternative energy sources by offering tax credits and rebates. You can also get a low interest loan in case you decide to upgrade your house with the greener equipment. You will spend less on your monthly loan payments than you used to spend on electricity bills.

    This is a guest post by freelance green tech writer Jeremie Brenton for New York energy rates. Check out their offers if you live in the state and want to save on utility bills.
