Geothermal

Save on your heating and cooling bills with Geothermal.

No matter where you live, the underground temperature stays relatively constant all year within a degree or two, even though outdoor temperatures vary widely.

Geothermal systems harness this relatively constant, renewable energy source and use it for heating, air conditioning and hot water.

What is Geothermal Energy?

Our earth's interior - like the sun - provides heat energy from nature. This heat - geothermal energy - yields warmth and power that we can use without polluting the environment.

The earth is a storage device for the sun's energy. Geothermal systems simply tap into this stored energy and transfer it to your home. Unlike fossil fuel heating systems geothermal systems transfer heat - they don't create it.

No matter where you live, the underground temperature stays relatively constant all year, even though the outdoor temperature varies widely.

We can put geothermal systems in houses - new or existing

Several of the businesses we have done.

Almost everywhere, the upper 10 feet of Earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 10 and 16 degrees C. A geothermal heat pump system consists of pipes buried in the ground near the building, a heat exchanger, and ductwork or in-floor heating in the building. In winter, heat from the relatively warmer ground goes through the heat exchanger into the house.

In summer, hot air from the house can be pulled through an equipped heat exchanger into the relatively cooler ground. Heat removed during the summer can also be used as no-cost energy to heat water with equipped units.
