Will it help the environment if I install a wind turbine at my home?

Yes. Wind turbines produce no pollution and by using wind power you will be offsetting pollution that would have been generated by your utility company. Over its life, a small residential wind turbine can offset approximately 3 tons of air pollutants and 300 tons of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and other gases which cause climate change).

Do wind turbines make noise or interfere with TV reception?

The medium-sized wind turbines do make some noise (under 60db), but not enough to be found objectionable by most people. A typical residential wind system makes less noise than the average washing machine. Wind turbines do not interfere with TV reception.

Will I have to change any of the wiring in my house?

No. A wind turbine is easily retrofitted to virtually any home without the need to change any wiring or appliances. In most cases, the utility will install a second utility meter to measure how much surplus electricity it is purchasing from the turbine owner.
