What is Geothermal?

• A heat pump that uses the earth's temperature to heat and cool your home
  • Takes advantage of the fact that four to six feet below the earth's surface the earth is a constant temperature year round
  • During winter months, fluid circulating through the installed loop absorbs stored heat and carries in indoors.  The indoor unit compresses the heat to a higher temperature and distributes it through your home
  • In the summer months, the process reverses and expels warm air through the loop system
  • It works the same as an air conditioner - only it uses the earth as the source of heat and cooling to keep your house a comfortable temperature

Pond Loops are very economical to install when a body of water is available, because excavation costs are virtually eliminated. Coils of pipe are simply placed on the bottom.	Horizontal Loops are often considered when adequate land surface is available. Pipes are placed in trenches that range in length from 100 to 400 feet.	Vertical Loops are the ideal choice when available land surface is limited. Drilling equipment is used to bore small-diameter holes from 75 to 300 feet deep.	Open Loops use groundwater as a direct energy source. In ideal conditions, an open-loop application can be the most economical type of geothermal system.

Long Term Cost Savings

• Geothermal systems use a renewable energy source of heat transfer to control the temperature of your house, so you save on monthly fuel costs
• The federal government, along with many local governments and utilities offer  rebates to lower the cost of installing a geothermal system
• You can save up to 72% of your annual energy costs when compared to a typical high efficiency, 93% efficient gas furnace with a 13 SEER air conditioner (US Department of Energy)
• The typical payback period can vary depending on a number of factors, but can be as little as 3 years
