Micro-cogenerators

Micro-cogenerator

Simplifying home energy systems is now a reality.

Micro-cogenerators, or combined heat and power

systems (CHP) combine heat, air conditioning,

electricity and hot water from a single source.

Micro-cogenerators not only reduce energy costs, but also

reduce dependence on foreign oil, carbon emissions and

greenhouse gases.

Micro-cogenerators are 90 percent efficient and are both

environmentally friendly and a money saver. In simplest terms,

micro-cogenerators work like a car’s engine, equipped to

generate electricity and provide domestic hot water and heat.

These devices can operate on natural gas, fuel oil or biodiesel.

While micro-cogenerators are considered to be money-saving

and energy-efficient models, the main problem is cost due to

the lack of current popularity.

Micro-cogenerators can be installed in homes, offices,

restaurants, markets, convenience stores, hotels, and farms.

Micro-cogenerators are likely to become more popular in the

United States and Canada as the cost of home-heating fuel and

environmental awareness increases.
