"At the end of the
first year, we have experienced our awesome 700 sq ft Solargon in all four
seasons. It has equaled and/or surpassed our expectations for comfort and
function! We are so pleased!
In winter, we use a
small gas log fireplace for heat, and in summer, a small European mini-split
for cool air. We also have two ceiling fans we can use in any season depending
on the need.
Our utility bills
have remained minimal, which we expected and hoped for!
Even with extended
sub-zero days we experienced this past winter, the gas log heater cycled very
infrequently, maintaining the constant 70 degrees we set. In fact, with our
stone flooring, the passive solar heat during the daytime increased our indoor temperature 2 degrees, and the heater was rarely
needed at all! Very nice!
Our windows are
screened, so we enjoyed the cooler spring and fall days with windows wide open
and a fresh breeze blowing through!
An added bonus we
hadn’t considered was how quiet our little space is! We hear very little of any
of the goings-on outside when windows and doors are closed. This makes for peaceful
days and quiet evenings.
All considered, we
are unable to think of any downsides at all to life in a Solargon!! We are forever
grateful to Sherri & Doug and all who made this lifestyle possible for us!"
Cheers!!
