What it means to be GREEN



Solaro Energy - What it means to be GREEN!
Clean energy is one of the fastest growing eco-friendly trends. Passionately riding that green wave is Solaro Energy Co. they know what it means to be GREEN! For more than two decades they have been inventing, engineering, developing, and manufacturing high quality, American-made, residential and commercial solar-powered lighting systems, solar-powered attic ventilation systems, solar-powered generators, and solar-powered battery backup systems. "It's about harnessing the power of the sun in our day-to-day lives," says Dennis Grubb, SE's President and CEO.
Solar-Powered Lighting
SE has a line of solar-powered lights, the Solaro Day. These lights simulate the natural light and full spectrum of light of the sun, providing the health benefits of sunlight without harmful ultraviolet rays.
The Solaro Day lights are energy efficient as they simulate sunlight. Unlike a traditional skylight, it's not necessary to cut a large hole in your roof compromising the waterproofing integrity. Each Solaro Day kit comes complete with a 30 watt solar panel, connector cable, and the light fixture that can be installed in any room of your house.
These solar-powered light systems carry a 25-year warranty on the solar panel, wiring, fixture housing and lens, as well as a 10-year warranty on the light engine and opto semiconductor lights (better than LEDs). These lights use 50 to 80 percent less energy than incandescent or florescent lights! Installation is easy and energy bills are immediately reduced. Getting started requires a minimal investment that fits the pocketbook of almost every homeowner and business. Start your positive impact on the environment today.

Wired or Wireless?


In 1931, when life was much simpler than it is today, a scientist named Joseph Henry decided that the visitors coming to his home should not have to yell or get sore knuckles from knocking on the door, to inform him about their arrival. So he invented what was the first doorbell. Today there are many options you can choose from; color wise, style, and last but not least if you prefer wired or wireless doorbells! It doesn’t really matter which door chime you choose to purchase, it’s all about personal preference. There are so many choices you can choose from with Nutone. With wired chimes you can choose from their traditional, specialty electric, ambient light, and decorative. With their wireless selection there are: portable, mechanical thru-door greeter, and plug-in. Both are super easy and time efficient to install.
Last but not least to top it off with all this doorbell talk you can’t get a chime with out pushbuttons! There are literally millions to choose from here, and in multiple colors. You can find anything that benefits your current style from squares, rectangles, circles, ovals, and pineapples. The colors ranging from black, white, polished brass, antique brass, satin nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, gold, Verde, and polished chrome. Good luck on your hunt to find the perfect chime and pushbutton.
