We are all aware that using sustainable energy is great for the environment, however the other big plus point in using a home made wind turbine is how much money it can save you, not only on your power bills going forward, but also on the initial installation.

If you go for a professional installation then it could cost you anything up to $7,500, however the DIY route could mean that you could build a system for a fraction of this cost and have it up and running for less than $200, maybe less than $140 if you are good at recycling materials.

Once your home made wind turbine is in place you will then see substantial savings on your power bill. You can slash your electricity bill by up to 80% and remember this isn't just for one month, this is month after month.  If you are based in the USA or Canada there are also wind tax credits and rebates available, which could take your savings to an even higher level.

If you have undertaken DIY projects before then building a home made wind turbine is not going to be a difficult task for you. You will probably find that you have most of the tools already and you may even have some of the materials to hand.

Building a home made wind turbine could prove to be one of the best investments you have ever made and without doubt it will lower your power bills now and for years to come.
