Greener Homes

Apple Homes recognize the importance of caring for our planet.  Therefore we now include in your new home the following environmentally friendly products:

Solar Paneling:- Apple Homes have teamed up with RM Solar Systems to bring you and your new home the benefits of solar hot water. Solar systems produce hot water without creating carbon dioxide or any greenhouse gas and create no pollution. They work all year round, so that in all forms of sun light there will be some contribution from your solar system. With households creating 29% of all carbon dioxide emitted in this country and using 29% of all energy needs a solar system can reduce your household’s carbon emissions by up to 0.75 ton per year, which is equivalent to about a large sack of soot annually.
This makes financial sense for you and environmental sense for everyone.
