The Owner is really saving on his energy costs with two photovoltaic cells that have reduced the electric bill to approximately $27.24 per month with a rebate check back at the end of every year from FPL (Cost - $42,300 - owned). A 19 Seer A/C unit was installed in 2019, that would easily also cool the Florida Room and Garage if so desired. The home has an on-demand water heater and central vac. A Turtle Roof Treatment by Tropic Guard was added in 2018, virtually eliminating mold and dirt, while adding years to its useful life. The Roof was decked with Solar board for added energy efficiency. A whole house water filtration system (still in place - seller hasn't used) was replaced with kitchen R.O.
