A major source of energy is right
under your feet.
Your own backyard has the potential
to be your source of heating and cooling
comfort. Now you can get safe, reliable,
energy efficient heating and cooling
from one piece of equipment. Geothermal
energy represents the leading edge of
heating and cooling technology. It moves
heat energy to and from the earth to
heat and cool your indoor environment.
And compared to ordinary systems,
geothermal technology can save you 30%
to 60% on your monthly energy bills.
Geothermal is the safest, cleanest, most
reliable space conditioning system you
can buy.
Geothermal energy is an unlimited
resource. The lot surrounding a suburban
home or other building contains a vast
reservoir of low temperature thermal
energy, typically 10 times that required
over an entire heating season. This
resource is constantly re-supplied by
the sun, the surrounding earth, and heat
rejected while cooling during the
summer. The universal definition of
geothermal is “…pertaining to the heat
of the earth.” By using the earth to
provide up to 50% of a building’s total
heating and cooling needs, GHP systems
are truly geothermal energy made
practical.
Four times the efficiency.
A geothermal system uses the Earth’s
thermal properties in conjunction with
electricity to provide unprecedented
efficiency. For every unit of
electricity the system uses, it provides
four units of heating energy, giving a
geothermal system a 400% efficiency
rating on average. These numbers can
translate into real savings on your
utility bills year-round.
Benefits of geothermal ownership.
Lower operating costs:
Geothermal heat pumps operate more
efficiently than ordinary heating and
air conditioning systems-30% to 60% in
most cases.
Comfortable: Because
the unit uses the relatively stable
temperature of the earth as an energy
source, you are assured of constant,
even winter heating and better humidity
control in summer.
Safe and clean: No
flame, no flue, no odors, just safe
reliable operation year after year.
Flexibility: The
unit provides heating, central air
conditioning, and hot water all from the
same compact unit.
Economical Heating:
Water heating can be a significant
energy expense. Geothermal units can
reduce the high cost of water heating by
as much as 66%.
Attractive: The
completely self contained indoor unit
needs no noisy, unsightly outside
condensing unit.
Environment: The
system emits no carbon dioxide–a gas
which is a major contributor to
environmental air pollution.
