Weston Florida home goes Green with Solar Pool Heating

When we bought our home in Weston Florida it came with a gas heated pool.

With high energy costs and the strain it was putting on our pockets.....we decided to go with solar power as an alternative to gas heating. It is a great way to save yourself thousands of dollars in the long run and is environmentally safe. As a matter of fact...many of our eco-fans out there support this and after having it installed and utilizing it for two seasons we definitely have seen those benefits. The green laws were really a great idea and in the long run it will help others just as it has for my family.

In order to get the most out of it you need solar panels strategically installed on you roof. Depending on which way your home faces and how much area you have for coverage will determine the amount of panels you will need.

Because of how this house is positioned.. we needed a few additional panels to get full heating exposure. I also needed to submit an architect plan for our association which was approved very quick.

As you can see...you will need to add PVC piping to your filtering pump system in order for the flow of water to go up though the pipes and into storage of your panels where they are heated by the sun and as the temperature rises the water will flow back through the system and into your pool water in order for the flow of water to go up though the pipes and into storage of your panels where they are heated by the sun and as the temperature rises the water will flow back through the system and into your pool water.

Piping is re-cut and re-routed through the system and the black box with the dial on it turns clock wise as the temperature changes to open the flow of water and it begins to circulate
through the system and back into the pool continuing to heat to the water.

The Helio-Matic controls your thermostat temperature. The dial has either an automatic or manual control that caters to the users convenience. You can make changes to the temperature that is comfortable to you. It goes as high as 100 degrees but in the hot summer months can heat up the water much higher so you might have to make adjustments along the way.

Once installed...it does not cost you a dime to run and homeowners that are looking to add an additonal 3 months of pool time and save money with high electric or gas heating costs...then this is the way to go. You will also save up to 10 hours of heating time by having this constantly running....just set it and forget it.

True...it is a great time to buy property...but what are your real objectives?

I keep hearing Realtors® say it is a buyers market and it is a great time to buy. But I am just wondering what the consumer is thinking. Are they buying because they intend on living in the property for at least a few years to build a family and some roots? Or are they "speculating" for the the market to go up in a short period of time just with the intentions of "flipping" the property and making a quick profit? Are you sure you are making the right decision? What is your true objective?
Helping my clients buy and sell Real Estate in South Florida are my specialties.I have bought and sold a few of my own properties as well and made money on all of them. But that didn't mean that I didn't do my homework first. I decided that since I didn't have a lot of money that I would probably be better off buying less expensive properties than high end. My reasons were simple...I didn't want the huge liability and what about if the property did not sell. I did not want all that debt. So diversified my holdings and I partnered up on a few. Well our plan worked...we only had 2 small mortgages on a few and the rest were purchased with cash. Our carrying costs were way below what we could command in the market and we did well. And we did this without even renting them out. We sold them quick and and we sold them at an attractive price to the buyers without being pigs. You see...we did all of this at the beginning of the boom and up until the demise we are in now.
We basically sold off most of them. At the end of the year I looked at some people I knew who went way overboard and purchased very expensive properties and used hard money and by the time these properties were finished and they tried to sell...they ended up with large payments each month and some are now in trouble. They were looking for the one big pay day and they could have done it the way we did where we still ended up doing well but on various projects.
When I moved my family to Pembroke Pines Florida back in 1999 our intentions were to buy a new home and live in it. For how long...I couldn't tell you. It was not our intentions to buy for the sole purpose of figuring we could sell it and make a profit or buying it as an investment. We purchased it because we wanted to put some roots down have our family grow and enjoy the time we had in the property. We made some friends and we had good times. In 2004 we started to talk about selling and buying a bigger home. We notice most of the neighbors had already moved and we were both doing well financially so we decided to sell right before the crash. We were lucky enough to sell in about 30 days and we had already close on the new house. We ended up moving to Weston Florida and we love our new home.
Even though we purchased the first home with the intentions of just living there we ended up making a good profit on it but take into account that we lived there for 7 yrs before we sold. So it actually worked out for us on both ends.
Buying and selling Real Estate in South Florida is probably going to be one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever make in your life so do your home work and think carefully as to what your Real intentions are.
