Description

Welcome home to Western Cranston! This 2400 (total) square foot home shines with incredible upgrades almost unseen in Rhode Island! The solar air / water heat pump system installed is so efficient that the National Grid Solar Program paid this homeowner $4,000 last year. Not a typo. The Air-water hybrid heat pump providing all heating, cooling and domestic hot water needs via a forced air furnace. Hybrid technology allows for oil furnace or hot water heater to act as supplemental...Welcome home to Western Cranston! This 2400 (total) square foot home shines with incredible upgrades almost unseen in Rhode Island! The solar air / water heat pump system installed is so efficient that the National Grid Solar Program paid this homeowner $4,000 last year. Not a typo. The Air-water hybrid heat pump providing all heating, cooling and domestic hot water needs via a forced air furnace. Hybrid technology allows for oil furnace or hot water heater to act as supplemental or primary heat source based on lowest energy cost. Thermal hot water storage tank allows for hot water production and storage (for later use) by the heat pump during the warmest hours of the day when production is most cost efficient. Storage is automatically utilized during the colder hours of the day. What does all this mean? It only cost the seller about $1,000 to heat, cool, AND run all electricity in the house for 2017. Other upgrades include newer septic, lower level buildout, interior cosmetics and more. 2 fireplaces, central air. Meticulously maintained.
