On average, small residential turbines cost $15,000-$35,000 installed. Larger off-grid systems are $50,000+. Costs can be offset by incentives.

Most turbines require an average annual wind speed of at least 9 mph. Tower height improves productivity by accessing faster wind speeds.

While acreage helps, wind turbines can work in suburban areas if spaced properly. Most zoning laws have specific wind power regulations.

With regular maintenance, home wind turbines typically last 20-30 years. Some components like blades may need periodic replacement.

Basic maintenance involves inspecting components and checking fluids/filters. Modern wind turbines are reliable and automated.
