September 3, 2016: Got Ten, get ten. A guaranteed return on your investment!

This weeks show is full of savings topics starting with an end of summer HVAC revitalization for only $49! Don't wait on that one. But how about this, would you invest $10,000 to get a guaranteed 10% return on that investment? Most likely you would. And that's what Brower Mechanical can show you with the proper use of that $10,000 if you live in PG&E service areas for your electric. You'll also hear about backing up your Solar production with batteries to literally take you off the grid for energy consumption. And you don't need a Tesla to do it! Finally, a great little story from another happy Brower customer named "Al" that couldn't be happier with the work and the outcome. The entire process was so special, he can't wait for the team to come out to service the new units! How often does that happen? At Brower Mechanical, it's the expectation. Call today for your $49 HVAC revitalization. 916-646-0808 or on line at "www.gosmallsolar.com".

August 27, 2016: 5 gallons of water and Energy?

Hope that title got your attention for this weeks show! I'll give you a hint of what Bill Small and Duane Knickerbocker are going to be covering in the first segment. Five gallons of water are pretty heavy. Wouldn't you agree? Imagine 10,000 gallons of water...like in your pool. And now a pump has to move all that water every night through a filter. Yeah. That's a heavy load. That means energy to run the pump and if that pump is not very efficient, well, that's why you need to listen to the show. And that's just for starters as the show goes on to talk about the consequences of doing nothing about your homes energy, roofing and a great interview with a very satisfied customer. For more details about home energy conservation and solar options, call Brower Mechanical today. 916-624-0808 or on line at "www.gosmallsolar.com"

August 20, 2016: Holistically healthy homes! 3 easy cures.

Your host Bill Small gets into a great discussion with Duane Knickerbocker of Brower Mechanical about the most significant things you can do to save on your home's energy usage (and it doesn't start with solar!).

Have a little fun learning about Chicken Coop Bingo, and then get serious. Is your house healthy? What about holistically looking at your energy usage vs just one element of it? Like your car, it's a matter of everything operating in sync vs getting only one element right when it comes to a healthy functioning home. You wouldn't replace three tires and a battery and call it a tune up!


Then, an outstanding guest from a recent install named Jan, tells her story and the amazing result... well, listen in to hear what happened. You'll also hear about the "Teenie Tiny Solar Club" and the growth of those taking all the steps to reduce before producing! Get your home wholistically healthy by calling Brower Mechanical today! 916-624-0808 online at "Gosmallsolar.com".
