Some Of Our Recent Projects:

McPherson Residence

Location: Bayside, CA

This new residence chose to install a radiant floor hydronic heating system on two floors that will be supplied with hot water from HTP Versa Hydro, a fireplace heat exchanger and a Thermomax  mazdon evacuated tube array.

Radiant floor heating is done throughout the entire home and is accomplished with hot water running recirculated through tubing hidden in a conductive panel under your finished floors.

Viega Climate Panels were installed on the second floor to cradle the radiant tubing. Unlike systems that require concrete pouring, the Viega Climate Panels can be installed directly over a subfloor or concrete. They only add 1/2” to the height of the floor and can be installed under any type of floor covering. Viega also offers other residential retrofit applications.

During the construction process, a product called Warmboard was installed on the first floor prior to building up the interior cutain walls.

Warmboard is a whole-home floor heating solution that lowers the cost of heating your home while making you more comfortable than other radiant floor systems.

The lower operating cost is a result of the ability of the radiant panel to conduct heat from water in a tube to the surface of your floor. And as conductivity goes up, the temperature of the water in the tube can go down. It is always cheaper to heat water to a lower temperature than a higher one. Warmboard requires lower water temperatures than all other radiant systems and therefore saves you more, year after year, in operating costs!

Botzler Residence

Location: McKinleyville, CA

System: 4.49 kW AC Photovoltaic Array

This 22 module solar electric array utilizes Canadian Solar Panels, an SMA SunnyBoy inverter, and is mounted at an angle to ensure maximum solar gain. 

This system was cleanly fastened to a membrane roof with special care taken to ensure that water tight seals were made at every roof penetration.

Sopjes Residence

Location:  Ferndale, CA

System:
2 Schuco Premium H Solar Hot Water Collectors
1 Schuco Storage Tank - 75 gallon heat exchanger storage tank with two back up elements     
                          

The Schüco Premium H high performance solar collector converts solar energy into heat, and is excellent for providing domestic hot water as well as for heating swimming pools. The highly selective absorber coating and optimum thermal insulation maximize efficiency. The absorbed solar heat is transferred to an storage tank by freeze-protected, non-toxic solar fluid through a serpentine copper pipe.

These products have been tested and certified by the Solar Rating Certification Corporation.The corporation is a non-profit organization whose primary purpose is to provide authoritative performance ratings, certifications and standards for solar thermal products, with the intention of protecting and providing guidance to consumers, incentive providers, government, and the industry.

Vandegriff Residence

Location: Big Lagoon, CASystem: 2.59kW Photovoltaic system

Bitton Residence

Location: Eureka, CASystem: Schuco Slim V Plus solar hot water system with a Takagi TK-3 gas tank-less water heater.

Humboldt State University

Location: Arcata, CASystem: 10.4 kW Photovoltaic system with public display interface and monitoring system.Testimonial"I have had the pleasure of working as a liaison between Ben Scurfield and HSU for nearly two years now. He has shown himself to be the best solar educator in this area and was our number one choice for solar installations on campus. Ben is the most obvious choice for professionally complete work with stress-free interpersonal communication." -James Robison, HEIF Program Manager, HSU

Griffen Residence

Location: Bayside, CaliforniaSystem: New construction features a 2kW grid-tie PV system and solar hot water system. The solar hot water system consists of 50 Thermomax evacuated tubes and a Phoenix solar water heater for radiant and domestic water heating Testimonial"For our new home, Scurfield Solar was very responsive to our request for a bid for photovoltaic panels in both a professional, timely and thorough fashion. They answered our questions about the bid and impressed us with the quality of the components proposed. Once we selected Scurfield Solar they were able to meet our scheduling needs. The professional and courteous nature of the installers was appreciated.We were pleased that our general contractor also selected Scurfield Solar for our hot water system needs and worked closely with them to interface with other trades providing valuable input.We are very pleased with the operation of the systems. It does my heart good to see the electric meter running backwards and our gas usage reduced significantly."Mike & Sara of Bayside..."
