Thinking about going green?

Keeping your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter has never been easier - or more environmentally friendly.

By utilizing the free and renewable solar energy stored in the ground, geothermal heating and cooling systems offer the finest in home comfort conditioning. This is a free, renewable, clean and environmentally-friendly source of energy.

So, if it is decreased energy costs, enhanced comfort, safety and reliability that you want out of your heating and cooling system, a geothermal unit could be right for you.

A geothermal system captures this free energy by using a series of pipes (an earth loop) buried in the ground. These pipes carry a mixture of water and alcohol that runs through the ground loop to a home's geothermal unit. During the cooling season, heat is removed from a home and transferred into the loop fluid, where it is cooled as it moves through the pipe in the earth. The earth serves as a "heat sink", a place to deposit the heat removed from the home.
