Heating system taps into power

Heating system taps into power | CapeCodOnline.com
As solar and wind power compete for the attention of eco-conscious homeowners, Freewatt is a new, lesser-known entry into the market for efficient and environmentally friendly home energy production.

The system uses what is known as micro combined heat and power, or micro-CHP, technology.

This is how it works: Natural gas or propane fuels a generator that can provide a significant portion of an average home's annual electricity needs. The waste heat from the power generation process is then captured and used to heat the house.
