General
I see lot’s of other products that offer the same information. Why should I purchase one manual and not one of the others?
Recycnrgy.com site has reviewed 13 different programs and have chosen 3 out of the manuals for renewable energy at home. The manual’s reviews contain far more detailed information. Look over this link.

Can I buy one of the programs separately?
All the programs come in a complete package and can be purchased individually. Each program is important for gaining the full potential of the system. They work to provide all the information you need to begin saving power.

Where can I get more information?
All the information you need is contained in the package when you order.  This includes all the books and videos.  If you have any additional support questions after reading all the books and watching the videos, you may review the online knowledgebase of past customer questions and answers. Most of the questions are already answered in the knowledgebase. Still have a question please submit your own to the program support desk.

Can you tell me exactly how much money I can save?
It is impossible for us to give an exact figure of how much you will save on energy.  Again, your savings will depend on how much energy you use and what your electric company is charging per kWh. Other factors such as the amount of wind and sunlight you receive in your area also affect your savings.

There are many things you can do to get the maximum possible savings on your electric bill and all this information is included when you order.

Also, once you order, you’ll become a member of our growing community of likeminded people taking action to raising energy prices and global warming.

How can I know if this is not a scam?
In order to help our potential customers feel safe about ordering systems manual, all programs have partnered with the largest seller of eBooks on the internet called ClickBank.

ClickBank is the leading company with a reputation to keep.  As the leader, they have best customer service in the industry.  All sellers are so sure you’ll be happy with their order that they have included a full, no questions asked, 8 week 100% money-back guarantee backed by ClickBank.  If for any reason, you want your money back, just email the seller or ClickBank and you get every penny back and just for trying you can keep the books and well part as friends.

Ordering and Cost Of System

Can I buy the fully assembled system?
Currently the programs are not available fully assembled.  In order to keep cost low, they have decided to release this information as a how to guide only.  Some competitors selling fully assembled systems are charging over $3,000.

We know that using off-the-shelf parts you can build an equitant or better system for under $200.  Also, many systems that come fully assembled do not include information about optimizing the system for your home and may not allow the full energy saving benefits of this technology.

How much do the system parts cost?
You can build the standard system for as little as $200.  It really depends on where you buy the parts.  When you order you’ll receive a list of parts required and where to find the parts both locally and online.  It’s best to purchase the parts locally to save on shipping costs, but if you have to order online, try and buy all the parts at few places to cut down on shipping costs.

The overall system cost can vary depending on whether you build the entire system by hand or if you buy pre-assembled components.

How much should it cost to install the system?
Again, this really depends on whether you are installing the system yourself or if you’re paying an electrician.  If you are going to use a electrician, find out how much they charge per hour.  Most electricians will be able to install an assembled system within 1-2 hours. All the instructions are provided in the books.

Do you have a site to order the parts if they are not available locally?
When you purchase the system plans you’ll receive a full list of all parts required to build the system.  Most items can be found at your local hardware store.  If you have any trouble finding these parts locally, you will receive information on how to get these parts from online stores.

Billing And Delivery

I don’t like using a credit card can I send a money order or check?
We only accept online payments. In addition to credit cards, we also offer payments via PayPal.

A 3rd party processor is in use, which handles the transaction to insure safety and security without any human involvement.

What forms of payment do you accept?
All major credit cards as well PayPal payments are accepted.

Is it safe to buy online?
Absolutely! The merchant processor, ClickBank, is the premier choice of businesses selling their products and services online. They have an excellent track record of safety and security for online purchases, without even one incidence in their operational history.

ClickBank’s secured and approved merchant process is noted by a yellow lock at the bottom or top of the page during your order. Using the latest encrypting technology ensures a safe and secure transaction you can feel good about.

Installation

What if I am not technically inclined enough to install the system?
Do not worry installation of the system is very easy.  Everything is covered in couple of hours of video instructions so you can follow along with every step.  Even if you’re not comfortable with this stuff, you can easily have an electrician install it for you.  All the step by step installation instructions are included in the books.

After you order, if you have any additional installation questions you can search the program knowledgebase or submit questions of your own, this includes any technical questions you may have.

Where can I find someone to install this system for me?
Installation of the systems is very easy and can be done yourself or by a local electrician.  All the step by step installation instructions are included in the books.

After you order, if you have any additional installation questions you can search our knowledgebase or submit questions of your own, this includes any technical questions you or your electrician may have.

Technical

Can you tell me more about the technology?

Absolutely!  Most of the questions you have are answered in the program books and in the programs knowledgebase.  Once you have ordered and read all the books, if you still have any questions please visit our extensive knowledgebase of questions and answers from past happy customers.

If you still have questions, feel free to add a support ticket and your questions about this technology will be answered.

Can you extend the system by adding additional devices?
Yes, for bigger homes, you may link multiple devices together to increase energy production as long as you have space to mount the wind generators and solar panels.

Can I order the parts locally?
Yes, all of the parts can be obtained locally.  If you have any trouble locating a part locally, online suppliers are also given.

How long will it take to build the wind/solar generators?
Once you have the parts you should be able to build each of them in no more than a couple of days. This makes for a great weekend project.

How much power do the solar panels produce?
Our manual provides instructions to build 72 watt panels and you also get the instructions so you can join multiple panels together to raise the output to 1000 watts +.

Can I use the program manual to make a 220V-240V system for places like Australia or Nigeria?
Yes. This complete system is virtually the same. The only thing you would need to do is get an inverter that puts out the larger 240V. You will learn more about inverter options in the Earth4Energy manual.

Will I learn how to wire the renewable power into my home’s AC breaker panel?
Wiring your own power into the AC breaker panel is very dangerous and is illegal unless it is done by a qualified electrician. You can save a lot of power by running items straight from your inverter but if you must bring the power into the home AC breaker panel than we recommend you contact a local electrician.

Can I power my whole home with just a $200 system?
You can make a single solar panel from between $100 and $200. However, there are given instructions on how to build the system by adding multiple solar panels and a larger battery bank/inverter. By expanding the smaller $200 system you can power much more of your homes energy needs.

Business Opportunities

Can I start a business selling this technology in my country?
There is a great opportunity for setting up a business selling and installing home energy generation systems.  In order to accelerate the use of this green technology, we’ve decided to allow businesses to manufacture and sell this device without having to pay royalties to us.

We do not offer exclusive right to this technology in any country, and we will not grant exclusive rights in the future.  Competition keeps prices low and this is important to ensure as many people as possible enjoy the energy saving benefits of this technology.

To help you with sales in your country, we offer our book package in a number of different languages.

If you would like to begin selling our technology in your country, all we ask is that you register with us as a reseller, and that you clearly identify the device with the program logo.  For more information, visit our reseller page to sign up and receive our reseller’s information pack.

Energy Audit Training Program

1. What is an Energy “Audit”?
An “audit” is merely an examination or review. With an energy audit, the auditor, using specific steps, methods and information, examines the current energy use of a building, facility or structure and makes a detailed list of energy targets – things like lighting, heating and machines.

This information tells the business how much they are currently spending to run their facility. The objective of the audit is to identify ways for the facility to reduce its energy use without impacting its current or planned operations.

2. Can you just audit one aspect of the facility, like lighting? Yes.
Energy Audits can be as simple as one energy target – an air conditioner, or as complex as a Comprehensive Facility Audit looking at everything at the facility. In fact, lighting is one of the easiest and most lucrative aspects of the auditing business.

Some facilities like restaurants and retail centers spend over 50% of their energy bill on lighting alone. By helping them reduce that energy use you are saving them money, which is good for business and good for the environment.

3. Do you have to convince a business to change the way it operates? No.

We never ask a company to change its operating formula – we are not business consultants. They are the expert in their business and we in ours. We only point out the energy problems. We do not suggest that the business do anything to change its production methods, operations or other factors.

Often time businesses will ask your advice on merging these two, which is wonderful, but if they want to prop the door open during a Phoenix summer because they think it draws more foot traffic, that is not something we convince them to change. We only identify the problem and offer reasoned solutions. And business is great.

4. Won’t they just hire tradespeople instead of me? No.
Most tradespeople do not know about energy auditing. They know their trade – HVAC (heating ventilation and air conditioning) for example know air conditioners. They do not know lighting. They do not know building shell, machines or solar gain. So when we find a problem with the air conditioning units at a facility, we call in an HVAC expert to find out how to make that unit more efficient.

If the facility was to call in an HVAC expert but not ours, they would get a significant HVAC bill, but their lighting, building shell, machines, and solar gain would go unchanged. The result would be minimal energy savings. Since you are looking at ALL energy targets and not just one trade’s targets, you offer the client a complete energy audit. Together the client gets the savings, you get your profit, and the tradesman gets their job.

5. What does the training include?
All training materials are digital downloads over the Internet.  They are comprised of a multitude of different documents including 7 training modules formatted as PDF documents, 6 Excel Spreadsheets and audit materials including MS Word documents and other miscellaneous materials.

All materials are delivered at the time of purchase through an automatic redirect to our download page.  When you are ready for the certification and the marketing materials you can upgrade.

6. How Long Does the Training Take?
All the materials are packaged together in one large download that you get at the time of purchase. You are free to take as short or as long as you want to learn the materials.  Most candidates complete the program within 2 weeks.

7. Tell me about the Certification Test?
All the training materials include a certification test.  The certification test is administered online test.  When you purchase the program, you will be provided a user name and password for the test.  The home test is 80 questions long and you have 60 minutes to complete the exam.  The
Commercial test is 100 questions and you have 120 minutes to complete the exam.  Both tests require a minimum passing score of 70%.  The test results are instantaneous, so you will know your score the minute you finish the exam.  An official certificate is then mailed to you within 5-7 business days.

Saving Money on Energy Kit

Using the Kit Questions

General stuff

1. Why don’t free tips work?
Free tips aren’t targeted…by that I mean they don’t address a need that you might have. They are just generic tips that may work depending on your situation. Most of the time, they aren’t that effective. Take for example the classic “lowering your thermostat to 68F in the winter can save 20% on heating bills.” Under most circumstances, your bill won’t go down 20%. Or even close to that. Maybe if your house was heated to 74 or something like that and you have decent insulation you will see those savings. Most of us won’t. That tip isn’t going to lower our bill all that much if we keep the thermostat at 69F.

2. How much energy does the kit aim to save?
It depends on your situation and how much you’re wasting. The goal is to reduce energy by finding energy waste and fixing it. For some people, this is a few dollars a day – which adds up to almost $100 a month. For others the savings are more modest.

3. What do I need on my computer to open the kit?
Three things, all of which you probably already have:
1.    A PDF reader. The most common is Acrobat Reader.
2.    Microsoft Excel, or Open Office Calc. MS Office costs money, but Open Office is free and will work fine. Chances are, though, you already have excel. You can also download Excel reader for free from Microsoft.

3. An unzip program, like winzip or stuff-it. Windows XP already should have an unzip program built in.

Payment & Download

4. I am scared paying for things online.
I understand, and I’m cautious too. That’s why I partnered with Clickbank, a global leader in payment processing and digital goods. They have an excellent security track record, and all your sensitive information is encrypted. Additionally, I can not see your payment info. All I see is your name and email. Clickbank’s servers are secure and tested safe daily.

5. Can I pay by check?
Sorry, our current payment processor only accepts credit and debit cards. You can pay by e-check with Paypal.

6. Can I receive the printed kit by mail instead?
At this time, the kit is only available by download. There are several advantages to a download over traditional mail service:
•    No waiting. You can download the kit tonight, and start saving tonight
•    Much cheaper. The kit is offered as a download to keep costs low.
•    No shipping. insurance, or extra charges
The kit is less than 3 MB in size, so you will have no problem downloading it even on very slow connections

7. Can you send me a CD by mail?
Sure. If you choose to, I can make you a CD with the information on it. Go through the payment process and when complete, send me an email to let me know you want a CD shipped to you. There is an additional fee of $5.00 for this, which covers postage and handling.

8. Are there any other charges?
Nope. Once you pay to download the kit, you own it. Plus, if you order within the promotional period for just $47, you will receive lifetime updates free of charge.

Using the Kit Questions

9. Where do I start?
Start with the Audit Guide, and follow the instructions within it. Record your findings and enter the data into the calculators. Make your decisions on energy based on your observations and the numbers. That’s pretty much it.

10. Why is this better than a “professional” visit?
Professionals do a good job covering the expensive areas of your home they can repair and make money on. Windows, doors, insulation, etc. All the things most people really don’t do themselves. This makes sense for them, because it is an efficient use of their time. In doing this, though, they ignore or miss a lot of home energy “holes” in every household. This kit let’s you do both – replicate those expensive professional results AND look at your energy usage as a whole.

11. How long does that take?
Some can get through everything in about an hour or so, others take much longer. With this kit, you can take your time and do it right. Once you start doing it, though, you will get the hang of it and start to go much faster.

12. I can get this info for free.
I have been trying to find a lot of the information I wrote in the guides online for years now. It seems every single site I visit has something a little different, and it is never really complete.
Truth is, professional energy consultants usually guard it with their life…and for good reason. Their secrets keep them in business. It is true that they have access to some tools that you simply don’t (because they are far too expensive.) But you can replicate their results with the techniques in the kit.

13. I need help with the kit.
No problem. Drop a short email and you will get help. There are also several videos which hopefully will address your questions and basically “train” you how to most effectively use the kit. Note that the kit is easy to use (at least in my opinion), the videos will just tell you how to get more out of it.
