Dear Editor:
Re: Power agreement approved
I live just down the hill from the first Revolution unit installed in the fall of 2011 (without any consultation with the neighbours) and have found it to be too loud to be operating in a modern day neighbourhood.
The manufacturer promised to build a more soundproof model, but upon installation in the fall of 2013, this new Revolution is louder than the original unit.
Currently any noise that is louder than a heat pump can be investigated.
ElectroMotion Energy Corp. will have to make some significant changes to the Revolution if it is to succeed to be used in residential areas.
In contacting Fortis Energy, they replied that any electricity put back into the grid will only result in an electrical credit (no money) since the electrical meter will run backwards.
Maybe the mayor and council members should have these units installed on their properties and then find out how well the units work and also how well the neighbours like the new noise of an internal combustion motor running a generator droning away all night and day.
