E-Den Closed for Solar Renovations

E-Den is pleased to announce a successful federal EcoAction grant application to provide solar hot water!
Solar hot water heat makes great sense for a B&B as most guests come in sunnier months. E-Den opened in July but unfortunately water could only be heated with propane. Our vision at E-Den is to minimize fossil fuel use and use alternative energy sources where possible such as our solar electric system. A feasibility study found that most of the propane used yearly could be displaced by a single evacuated tube collector solar panel! Evacuated tube panels are more efficient compared to older flat panel technology and allow solar heating in cold weather.
Work is now under way to install the collector supplied by Lattitude 51. While the solar collector and infrastructure are being installed, E-Den will be temporarily closed. We look forward to providing solar hot water for your next visit.
