What's Buried In Your Yard?
Some people look at their lawn and see a source of pride. A place
for children and pets to run and play. A place to hold picnics,
practice putting, and entertain friends. Or a place that needs
mowing, trimming and weeding.
But how many people think of their lawn as a constant, renewable
source of heating, cooling and water heating for their home?
With a geothermal heating and cooling system, your lawn becomes
a permanent power plant for your home. You'll enjoy the benefits
of the most comfortable, reliable, energy and cost efficient
heating, cooling and water heating system available on the
market today.
How Does It Work?
The earth absorbs almost 50% of all solar energy and remains a
nearly constant temperature of 50°F to 70°F depending on
geographic location. Working with an underground loop system,
geothermal heating and cooling systems utilize this constant
temperature to exchange energy between your home and the earth
as needed for heating and cooling.
In winter, water circulating inside a sealed underground loop
system absorbs heat from the earth and carries it to the geothermal
unit. Here it is compressed to a higher temperature and sent as
warm air to your indoor system for circulation throughout your
home.
In the summer, the system reverses and expels heat from your
home into the cooler earth via the loop system. This heat exchange
process is not only natural, but is a natural and highly efficient
way to create a comfortable climate in your home.
There are several loop configurations available. They can either
be vertical, horizontal, or submerged in a nearby pond or lake.
In many cases, a water well can be used instead.
The best application will depend on the characteristics of your
property. We can show you which type of loop system is best suited
for your home.
Save Some Bucks, Save the Planet.
This is the best news. With the installation of a geothermal unit,
your monthly utility bills will be lowered dramatically, leaving
more savings for you and your family.
With a geothermal system, a typical home can save in the range
of $600 to $1,200 annually. That's a savings of up to 60% over a
conventional system, providing a day one positive cash flow.

Endorsed by both the Environmental Protection Agency and the
Department of Energy, geothermal technology is the most efficient
and environmentally safe heating and cooling option available.
Breathe Easy.
Currently, household energy consumption for space conditioning
is responsible for nearly 20% of all greenhouse gas emissions.
Geothermal technology can provide a viable and cost efective
solution to reduce this environmental hazard.
