Reduce your energy co$t and con$umption today

Below the surface of the earth, a constant and moderate temperature is maintained year-round. It is this heat source that we're tapping into to not only heat your home, but to also cool it.

Geothermal heating and cooling systems, also called ground source heat pumps, are among the most energy efficient systems available! Today, the most efficient gas furnace has a 94% efficiency rating. Geothermal has an efficiency rating of 400%.

This means that there are 4 units of energy delivered for every 1 unit of electrical energy. Geothermal systems transfer heat, they do not create or burn it. This helps to reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 70%!



Geothermal systems use a sealed underground piping loop filled with circulating water and an ultra high-efficiency ground source heat pump to exchange heat between your home and the earth.

• In the winter: The earth is your source of heat. Water circulating in the piping loop absorbs heat from the earth and carries it to the heat pump, where it is concentrated and sent as warm, comfortable air throughout your home.
   
• In the summer: The earth is your source of cooling. The heat pump absorbs heat from the air in your home and transfers it to water circulating in the piping loop where it is absorbed by the earth. This provides cool, dehumidified and comfortable air throughout your home.
  

Now you can reduce environmental pollution and save significantly at the same time

With the assistance of the earth's energy a geothermal system has less work to do to reach the desired temperature setting throughout the year, the system is highly efficient and lowers operating costs.

Here are just some of the many benefits to a geothermal system:

• You can reduce your carbon footprint on the earth by 50% and save more than 4 tons of CO2 per year
• Get a 30% geothermal tax credit from a Federal stimulus package through 2016
• Heating oil, propane, and natural gas prices are expected to rise through 2020
• Go from heat to a/c by flipping a switch while still continuing to heat your home's hot water
• Savings can be as much as 80% over fossil fuels and are way more efficient - by as much as 48% more! - than gas furnaces
