Say goodbye to power companies and high utility bills and say hello to your sustainable "Wise Home"
A Wise Home doesn't need a power company for electricity and heating/cooling comfort or a water company to get clear, clean, and healthy drinking water. Energy Wise Solutions has eliminated the need for these utilities and related expenses by utilizing the latest advances in solar power, electric battery storage, solar water heating, rain water collection, and construction materials and techniques to build off-grid utility free homes!
