Renewable Energy and Conservation.

S+H’s Renewable Energy Division designs and installs solar electric, solar hot water, geothermal, and advanced HVAC systems. We offer energy management and conservation services that can reduce your energy demand for both homes and businesses.

Not sure where to begin? S+H offers energy conservation consultations and advice. This includes a review of your current energy usage, condition of insulation, windows, doors, lights, appliances, and HVAC systems. We offer suggestions that can immediately reduce utility bills and save money on energy use throughout the home or business for years to come.

As general contractors, we can implement improvements on the spot and also leverage our team of suppliers and specialists to build long-term solutions. Renewable energy and conservation reduces operating costs, offers a quick payback, reduces your carbon footprint, and delivers increased comfort to your living and/or office space.
