A major source of energy is right under your feet.

Your own backyard has the potential to be your home's major source of energy. Now you can get safe, reliable, energy efficient heating and cooling from one piece of equipment. Geothermal energy represents the leading edge of home heating and cooling technology. It moves heat energy to and from the earth to heat and cool your home. And compared to ordinary systems, geothermal technology can save you 30% to 70% 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 contains a vast reservoir of low temperature thermal energy, typically 10 times that required over an entire heating season. And this resource is constantly resupplied 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 home's total energy needs, GHP systems are truly geothermal energy made practical.

Four basic types of geothermal energy sources.

Closed loop systems circulate a water-based solution through a "loop" of small diameter, underground pipes. In cold weather this solution absorbs heat from the earth and carries it to the geothermal unit. Working in a similar manner as your household refrigerator, the geothermal system amplifies the heat and delivers it throughout your house. In warm weather the process is reversed, excess heat is carried from your home and into the earth.  You keep refreshingly cool during the hottest summer.

Horizontal loops are often considered when adequate land surface is available. Pipes are placed in trenches or bored in, in lengths that range 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.
Pond (lake) 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 of the pond or lake.

Open loop systems utilize ground water as a direct energy source. In ideal conditions, an open loop application can be the most economical type of geothermal system.

Four and a half 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 and a half units of heating energy, giving a geothermal system a 450% efficiency rating on average. These numbers can translate into real savings on your utility bills year round.
