So, can you really save money by buying a wind power turbine? The answer is yes if you live in the right location. If your property has an average wind velocity over 10 miles per hour, you can save money by purchasing a wind power turbine.
However, if the average wind velocity where you live is less than 8 miles per hour, then a wind turbine will not save you money on your power bill - unless perhaps you get a free turbine from a friend.
A good first step to deciding if a wind power turbine will benefit you is to take a look at a "wind map." A wind map will show you the average wind velocity of different locations in the United States. Find your town on the map and check what the average wind velocity is. If it is below 8 miles per hour, wind will not provide much energy for you. However if it is above that number, consider looking into it further.
One of the keys to determining if a wind power turbine will save you money is how much your initial investment is. If you spend $5,000 on a turbine, you will need to produce enough energy to cover your investment in order to make it profitable for you. However, if your friend gives you a turbine for free, then any wind energy that you can produce saves you money, because you have nothing invested.
Because many "high tech" prefabricated turbines can cost thousands of dollars, you need to be able to produce a large amount of energy to make it profitable. However, if you build your own turbine and spend only a couple hundred dollars, then you will need to produce less energy to pay for your investment. For this reason, many people have decided to build a do-it-yourself wind power turbine, rather than taking a "big risk" and spending thousands on something that may never pay off.
