wind turbine
Is it worth my while putting a wind turbine onto my garage do power it?

I have a detached garage, and would like power to hoover out the car, mow the lawn, lights, possibly alarm etc.

Is it worth my while fitting a wind turbine for the bit of power I need intermittently.
Tallpaul,
I couldn’t answer that in proper terms, just a bit of power now and then.

As for the previous poster, my garage is across the back street from my house, and would cost me approx £1000 to run the electric from the extension, over the local authorities back street (which i have to pay a grant for!) and into said garage.
New toy, don’t think so, I have 2 small kids so i have enough on my hands you fool!

No, get a small generator for the hoovering and lights, a petrol mower, and a solar powered alarm. A turbine would cost far too much, you would be as well to put the money into installing a power supply and a meter. If your garage is one of a row, share the cost with the others??
