Plug Into Earth's Energy

Did you know there is energy under your feet? Rather than using our precious nonrenewable resources to cool our homes consider a better alternative: geothermal heat pump.

Geothermal heat pumps use the natural heat from within the earth to heat and cool a home. They can also be set up to provide your home with hot water. These units can cut your electric bill in half! The government is also providing a 30% tax credit based on the installed cost of unit.

Please consider a better alternative the next time you need to update your HVAC system!

The Future Of Our Planet


According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), geothermal heat pumps are the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective systems for temperature control. Although, most homes still use traditional furnaces and air conditioners, geothermal heat pumps are becoming more popular. In recent years, the U.S. Department of Energy along with the EPA have partnered with industry to promote the use of geothermal heat pumps.

Please consider a more 'green' alternative the next time your air conditioner needs to be replaced.

Summary On How A Geothermal Heat Pump Works

While temperatures above ground change a lot from day to day and season to season, temperatures in the upper 10 feet of the Earth's surface hold nearly constant between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. For most areas, this means that soil temperatures are usually warmer than the air in winter and cooler than the air in summer. Geothermal heat pumps use the Earth's constant temperatures to heat and cool buildings. They transfer heat from the ground (or water) into buildings in winter and reverse the process in the summer.
