WHY GEOTHERMAL?

GEOTHERMAL FACTS:

The U.S. Department of Energy has stated Geothermal is the most efficient renewable energy source available.

Geothermal assists in heating domestic hot water in the winter in heating mode and provides most hot water in summer during cooling mode.

Geothermal Heat Pumps save between 50-70% of Operating Costs (and rising) and

between 30-50% Reduction in Maintenance Costs.

Geothermal has no CO2 emissions, One gallon of Fuel Oil emits 21 lbs of CO2.

Local utility companies state the average operating costs for a Geothermal Home at .50 per foot per year. A home using fossil fuel has an average operating cost of $1.50 per foot per year.

No open flame and no possibility of carbon monoxide emissions.

Geothermal is simple, but not easy.

Four components make up a successful installation of Geothermal:

1. The thermal envelop of your home must sealed (ie. windows, insulation, roof and basement) to prevent heat loss.

2. The system must be specified for your geography.

3. The heat pump must be sized correctly.

4. either open or closed must be sized to the heat pump and installed correctly.

Geothermal has been around for about 30 years in our area but the sharp increase in the cost of fossil fuel has created a demand for Geothermal heat pumps. We have completed the most up to date training in all phases of Geothermal as well as over 20 years of experience in the building and construction industry. All of our heat pumps are warranted, we offer a lifetime guarantee on the installation of the heat pump and yearly maintenance and service programs.
