VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Allen Lyle: One really cool thing about today’s technology is that it makes yesterday’s methods more viable. A good example is solar power. I mean, let’s face it. Long before man discovered fire, his heat source was the sun. Today we’re able to easily and conveniently harness the sun’s power for all kinds of things, including home appliances.

But are they worth it? Well, in my opinion, you bet they are. I mean, it’s free energy! You capture sunlight and convert it to usable power for your home. Today we can both heat and cool our home with solar power, and it has virtually no environmental footprint.

I mean when you consider the fact that resources like oil, coal, gasoline are becoming more scarce; having an infinitely renewable resource like sunlight just makes sense. Plus, we know the sun has been burning for eons and will likely continue for countless millennia more!

And here’s a budget-friendly thought. On certain select solar appliances, you can gain federal tax credits. Plus, you can possibly get additional incentives from your utility company.

And one more thing to think about, look at the names getting behind solar energy. When you’ve got a trusted name like Lennox incorporating solar power into their products, well you can be assured that solar energy’s future is bright indeed.
