Go Geothermal and SAVE BIG

If you have heard the word geothermal, but are not sure how it can benefit you…..read on and become enlightened. 

We are excited to educate people regarding this product since it is an effective energy saver which means earth friendly and wallet friendly. Geothermal technology has been around since the 1940’s and began its rapid growth in the 1970’s. Today’s technology has catapulted the high efficiency performance of heating and cooling which has pleased environmental activists and homeowners who invested in this product. 

Here’s how it works:

Designers created the GeoThermal system to generate heat and cool air from your own backyard by using the earth’s ground temperatures. Loop systems are buried deep below the earth’s surface where the temperatures stay constant year round as the earth’s surface captures 47% of the sun’s heat. Geothermal units use electricity to move heat, not to produce it. Geothermal systems save you up to 80% on your monthly energy bills and are able to produce free domestic hot water. According to the Environmental Protection Agency geothermal systems are “the most energy efficient, environmentally clean, and cost effective space conditioning system available today.”  Geothermal systems do not use fossil fuels, so there are no combustible gas emissions which reduces your carbon footprint and eliminates harmful health effects. Better comfort, utility bill savings, property value growth and participating in earth friendly practices are what make it worth it!

How is it more comfortable you ask?

When in the heating mode, geothermal heat pumps produce warmer indoor air temperatures (95 – 105 degrees) compared to conventional air source heat pumps (85 – 95 degrees).
