Save, Renew, Reuse, Recycle

Saving energy is a smart choice, and doing it efficiently makes it even more cost-effective. Our project managers are ready to help clients find the best solutions for keeping their homes and businesses cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

At SCR, restoring and renewing homes is part of our construction DNA. We take pride in assisting homeowners and businesses with the renewal process, especially after storm damage. Our goal is to bring properties back to their original condition or even better.

When possible, we focus on reusing existing features during the restoration process. For example, if a fence is damaged, we repair it, power wash it, and apply a new stain to make it look new. This reduces waste and prevents unnecessary items from ending up in landfills.

While it’s not always possible to reuse everything, SCR takes pride in making environmentally responsible decisions whenever it makes sense. Additionally, we recycle as much material as possible, including nails, soft metals, and gutters. We ensure that shingles are disposed of properly, using only state-authorized landfills.

At SCR, we’re committed to protecting the environment while delivering exceptional service.

Solar Gable Fans

Solar gable fans are an effective solution for ventilating your attic and protecting your home from heat and moisture. These fans are powered by solar energy, using sunlight to drive the motor and remove hot air from your attic. They help reduce the temperature inside your attic, which can often reach up to 150°F, and prevent humidity buildup that can damage your roof and insulation.

One key feature of solar gable fans is their ability to switch between solar and AC power. When the sun is shining, the fan operates entirely on solar energy. At night or on cloudy days, the fan automatically switches to AC power, ensuring 24/7 operation and continuous ventilation.

For example, the QuietCool Solar Gable Fan comes with a 40-watt solar panel, an efficient DC motor, and an AC/DC inverter. It also has a preset thermostat that activates the fan at 88°F, ensuring your attic stays cool without using extra energy.

These fans are easy to install. You mount them to your gable vent, adjust the solar panel to capture the maximum sunlight, and connect the inverter. The result is a well-ventilated attic that can help lower air conditioning costs by up to 30%, prolong the life of your roof, and keep your home comfortable year-round.

Velux Sun Tunnels

The VELUX Sun Tunnel® Skylight brings natural light into spaces without direct access to windows. This innovative solution allows sunlight to illuminate rooms such as hallways, bathrooms, or closets, which are harder to brighten with traditional windows.

The VELUX Sun Tunnel® Skylight can be installed quickly, often in just a few hours, without significant structural changes to your home. Its sleek, low-profile design ensures it looks great from the outside, while the internal reflective tubing maximizes the amount of daylight delivered into your room.

There are two main types: the Rigid Sun Tunnel® Skylight and the Flexible Sun Tunnel® Skylight. The rigid tunnel is ideal for longer, straight runs from roof to ceiling, providing brighter, clearer light. The flexible option works best in spaces where installation around obstacles is necessary.

This skylight solution is cost-effective and energy-efficient, making it a great choice for adding natural light to darker areas of your home.

Energy Efficiency Windows

Energy-efficient windows play a crucial role in reducing energy consumption in your home. By selecting the right windows, you can lower your heating and cooling costs while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. These windows minimize heat loss during winter and reduce heat gain during summer.

The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) label provides key information when shopping for energy-efficient windows. The U-factor measures how well a window prevents heat from escaping; lower numbers indicate better insulation. The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient shows how well the window blocks unwanted heat from the sun. Lower numbers help keep your home cooler in the summer.

Additionally, Visible Transmittance rates how much natural light the window allows into your home, while Air Leakage measures how much air can pass through, affecting drafts. A window with lower air leakage ensures fewer drafts, keeping your home energy efficient.

Understanding these ratings lets you choose the most effective windows for your specific climate and energy-saving goals. Energy-efficient windows save money and make your home more comfortable year-round.

Enjoy Tax Credits with Sustainable Roofing

Sustainable roofing helps the environment but can also earn you valuable tax credits. By investing in energy-efficient roofing, you may qualify for two major tax credits: the Residential Clean Energy Credit and the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit. Both reward homeowners for making eco-friendly choices that reduce energy consumption.

The Residential Clean Energy Credit

The Residential Clean Energy Credit allows you to claim 30% of the cost of certain renewable energy installations. This includes solar roofing systems, such as solar tiles and shingles, which serve both as a protective roof covering and a source of renewable energy for your home. 

If you install these systems in your primary or secondary residence, you can benefit from this tax credit. The credit is available for projects completed through 2034, but starting in 2033, the percentage begins to phase down. For now, you can claim a full 30% of your expenses, making it an excellent time to go green with your roofing.

Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit

Another way to benefit from tax credits is through the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit. This credit provides up to $1,200 per year for qualifying energy-efficient home improvements, such as adding insulation or upgrading your HVAC system. Roofing projects themselves are generally not covered under this credit unless you’re installing specific energy-efficient features, like solar panels or other renewable energy options. The best part about this credit is that it’s no longer a lifetime limit. Instead, it resets every year, meaning you can spread out your improvements and potentially receive up to $12,000 over 10 years.

To maximize your benefits, consider installing solar-powered roofing systems or energy-efficient insulation. The Residential Clean Energy Credit applies to more advanced systems, like solar shingles and tiles, that integrate renewable energy with your roof structure. 

Meanwhile, the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit helps with other energy-saving projects, such as improving ventilation or enhancing the overall thermal efficiency of your home.

Additionally, always check with your state or local utility programs. Many regions offer extra incentives for energy-efficient upgrades, which could further reduce your overall costs.

To claim these tax credits, save all receipts and documentation of your improvements. When you file your taxes, you’ll need to provide proof of your energy-saving investments. If you have questions, consult a tax expert to ensure you claim all the credits you’re entitled to.
