Why It Pays To Go Green

 

A geothermal heat pump is the greenest way to go.  An EPA study of energy

efficiency concluded that geothermal energy is the most environmentally friendly

heating/cooling system.  Available everywhere in the United States, geothermal

energy can be found underground virtually anywhere. Geothermal cost savings can

be increased by available energy credits.  Visit our tax credits page to learn more.

 

Heating

 

In winter, warmth is drawn from the earth through a series of pipes, called a loop,

installed beneath the ground.  A water solution circulating through this piping loop

carries the earth's natural warmth to a heat pump inside the home.  The heat

pump concentrates the earth's thermal energy and transfers it to air circulated

through interior ductwork to fill every space in your home.

 

Cooling

 

In the summer, the process is reversed; heat is extracted from air inside the

house and transferred out by way of the ground loop piping.  The geothermal

system also uses some of the heat extracted from the interior in the summer to

provide free hot water.
