Imagine a heating and cooling system for your home that would keep you cool in the summer
and warm in the winter, cut your utility bills by 25 to 50 percent, and help save Planet Earth,
all at the same time.
Sounds like a challenge for the new millennium, doesn't it? A futuristic dream that homeowners can look forward to some time well into the 21st century. The good news is this advanced heating and cooling system is here today. It's called Geo exchange and thousands of homeowners nationwide are already reaping the benefits, including higher comfort levels and lower utility bills. |
| "The most energy effecient, enviromentally clean and cost effective" way to condition or homes - EPA study |
| Geo exchange (sometimes called geothermal, or ground-source heating and cooling) taps
the renewable, safe, and virtually endless energy supply that lies just below the earth's surface.
The way it works is simple. In winter, warmth is drawn from the earth through a series of pipes, called a loop, installed beneath the ground. A water solution circulating through this piping loop carries the earth's natural warmth to a heat pump inside the home. The heat pump concentrates the earth's thermal energy and transfers it to air circulated through interior ductwork to fill every space in your home. In the summer, the process is reversed; heat is extracted from air inside the house and transferred to the biggest "heat sink" of all--Mother Earth--by way of the ground loop piping. The Geo exchange system also uses some of the heat extracted from the interior in the summer to provide free hot water--saving as much as 30% on your annual hot water bill. |
| Because Geo exchange technology uses such a readily available source of energy--and uses
it so efficiently--it can save a substantial amount of money on monthly utility bills.
In fact, a typical 1,500-square-foot home in a moderate climate can be heated and cooled for a year-round average of just $1 a day. The Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy have both recognized Geo exchange technology as the most efficient and environmentally friendly home heating and cooling system available. Geo exchange technology may sound almost too good to be true, but it's advanced technology that you can use right now. |
