Geothermal Energy The World’s Greenest
Heating and Cooling System

 
Geothermal technology is one of the most cost effective and energy efficient renewable energy choices in today’s traditional oil and gas systems. If you are looking to preserve the environment, bring you year-round comfort and save money, then geothermal is the choice for you and your family.
 

How Geothermal Works

 


Throughout the year, up to 50% of the sun’s energy is absorbed into the ground where it maintains a consistent temperature just a few feet below the Earth’s surface. Geothermal technology takes advantage of this constant renewable energy source by combining a series of loops installed outside underground with a heat pump system inside your home that looks very similar to a conventional furnace. This high performance technology allows us to tap into the earth’s natural heating and cooling properties to evenly and consistently distribute warm and cool air in your home or office.

An environmentally friendly antifreeze solution or pure water carries energy directly from the closed or open loop system into the heat pump inside your home or office. In the winter, the heat pump acts as a furnace, distributing the heat throughout your home using the system’s heat exchanger and compressor. In the summer, it acts as an air conditioner, collecting the heat from your home and distributing it into your domestic hot water tank or back into the earth through the loop system.

Not only can a geothermal system provide you with year round indoor comfort, it can also provide inexpensive domestic hot water, supplementing or replacing your conventional domestic hot water heater.

Are you looking for a cost effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly heating and cooling system for your home? A geothermal heat pump is proven to be the greenest choice.

• Geothermal energy can be found underground virtually everywhere within the United States.
• The United States National Renewable Energy Laboratory concluded that geothermal energy is more cost-effective and efficient compared with over conventional residential heating & cooling systems.
• The EPA concluded an energy efficiency study that geothermal energy is the most environmentally friendly heating/cooling system.
• Geothermal cost savings can be increased by geothermal energy incentives, available from federal, state, local, and utility sources.
• Energy and cost savings of geothermal heat pumps will vary by region and type of conventional system they’re compared with. However, the energy cost of geothermal versus conventional heating & cooling systems will always be much lower.

Who Says Geothermal Energy is the Best Choice?

Geothermal energy has been recognized as the greenest and most efficient heating & cooling method by leaders in the government and private sector.

U.S. Department of Energy and EnergyStar Promote Geothermal

EnergyStar has compiled a listing of approved geothermal products (PDF) including a wide range of Water Furnace products that carry the EnergyStar emblem of approval.
The Department of Energy Consumer’s Energy Guide has data on geothermal system return on investment.

Regardless of where you live, the country or in the city, there is a geothermal solution that will work for every building type and every climate condition.

Solar Power

In light of the consistent rise in the cost of petroleum based energy, there’s never been a better time to have a look at solar home energy possibilities.

No matter how you want to use it, we have savvy, cost saving strategies for bringing solar alternative energy into your house.

The well-thought-out implementation of the different types of solar will produce a comfortable home whose utility costs can be completely eliminated or dramatically reduced.

Get the most solar energy for the least money by using the right solar method for each job.

3 Ways To Use Solar Power at Home

Caleffi Solar’s prepackaged, specially engineered solar water heating system includes all of the components needed for a standard installation – from the solar collectors, to the pump station and controller, to pre-insulated piping, to the storage tank, and all of the necessary hardware and plumbing components.

Our complete package is ready to be professionally installed and comes with the added assurance of OG-300 certification by the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC). Additionally, most have received the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Star certification. These packages are eligible for a detailed warranty plan.

Systems range in size from a one-collector system, intended for one- to two-person households, to a four-collector system, for households with four to eight people. Caleffi’s Solar Water Heating System is equally compatible with newly constructed or existing homes, and its flexibility allows a variety of installation options, ranging from roof installations to ground mounts.

Thermal Solar Power – Take advantage of the heat that fiery mass throws off. Aside from passively allowing it into your home there are some active measures you can take to capture the thermal energy for heating household water, swimming pools and spaces.

A significant portion of your home’s energy bill can be offset by installing a solar power water heater.

This low tech alternative is affordable, practical and ultra green. Thermal solar is where many householders start their solar journey.

Solar Power Panels – This is the spendy kind of solar power.

Making electricity from the sun requires photovoltaic orthin film panels. The energy the panels produce can be stored in batteries to use whenever you want it.
Panels turn sunlight into DC energy which can be stored in batteries as-is. It can be used as-is too, as long as the appliance runs on 12V energy (the kind that uses a cigarette type plug.

An inverter converts the energy from DC to AC, which can be used with conventional household appliances.
