Read moreSolar and Heat Pump Systems are the building blocks to build a Zero Energy Home
123 Zero Energy specializes in Solar PV, Solar Air, and Solar Thermal as well as Heat Pumps including Geothermal and Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pump. Our systems are designed as easy to install packaged systems and kits for home owners, contractors, & builders to create a Zero Energy Home. The concept of 1, 2, 3 originates from children’s building blocks; simple in design and easy to understand. At 123 Zero Energy we take this concept to provide home owners with easy to install DIY solar, geothermal and ASHP (Air Source Heat Pump) packages that can be used individually or built up together to form a complete home energy solutions.
A Zero Energy Homes is simply defined as a home that produces the same amount of Free renewable energy as it consumes. This can be a gas, electric or oil or any combination. A Zero Energy Buildings does not have to be specially built or engineered. No expensive architecture or designer is required. In fact, over 90% of Homes in Canada and the USA can become a Zero Energy Home and eliminate their electric bill.

How is it done?
A Zero Energy Homes is one where the consumption equals the renewables produced. In most homes the consumption can easily be reduced in four main areas; Lighting, Water Heating, Cooling and Space Heating. These four consumers of energy amount to an average of 66% or 2/3 of a home's energy bill.
Using a green energy systems such as Geo Thermal, Solar Water Heater, Solar Air Heating, Cold Weather Heat Pumps and Solar Home and Space Heating a home can reduce its consumption costs by as much as 75%. Other upgrades such as windows, insulation, energy efficient appliances and LED lighting are also important in reducing consumption costs. The small remaining balance of the energy consumption of a home is then subsidized with DIY Solar PV kits that utilize Grid Tie and Net Metering programs.
What we provide
First we start with a Free Energy Audit to determine the current state of your homes energy consumption. This short survey gives us a base line to determine the overall saving. If you are building new we can also provide you with the same FREE energy audit services. We then provide you with a recommendation in energy saving systems. These systems can be installed and integrated together or they can be installed as building blocks over any period of time.
The balance of the system will be made of a completely modular and expandable On-Grid PV system that will provide you with the ability to cover as much of the home's energy deficit as required. This system can be expanded on any time allowing home owners to grow into.

We are located in Winnipeg, Manitoba and can provide turnkey Solar Installations and Geothermal design and installs. We are a certified solar installer for Manitoba Hydro’s solar program as well as Manitoba’s MGEA certified geothermal installer for Provincial tax incentives. For other provinces and US and Caribbean we have a full dealer network. We also can be contracted for large commercial projects and design. Our solar installers are fully insured both in Manitoba and throughout Canada for both residential and commercial installations.
