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.
