No matter where you live, the earth stores energy from the sun
establishing a relatively constant underground temperature all year round,
even though outdoor air temperatures vary widely. A Geothermal system
harnesses this renewable supply of energy. In winter the Geothermal
system extracts heat from the ground and distributes it throughout your
home. In summer, the system extracts heat from the home and
dissipates it into the ground. Geothermal systems are extremely energy
efficient (see comparison) because they use energy only to transfer heat,
rather than produce it. With new models delivering up to 4 times more
energy then they consume delivering significant savings over fossil fuel
technologies.

Geothermal Comparisons
With the rising and unpredictable cost of fossil fuels
and the continuous improvement of geothermal
products, comparisons for individual technologies
aren't stable for long. Use these charts to show the

your home or office building
In a Geothermal system the traditional boiler, furnace or air-air heat
exchanger is replaced with a ground-source heat pump. Outwardly similar
to a traditional heating/cooling unit, they operate quite differently on a
principle similar to a domestic refrigerator, and offer many advantages
beside reduced energy bills.
 | | Safe; With no combustion there is no chance of carbon monoxide | | | emission into the home or damage from fuel/gas leakage.
| | | Reliable; unlike other heat pumps they are installed indoors so | | | they are not subject to damage caused by weather extremes or
vandalism and have no annual service to clean combustion
deposits and maintain efficiency.
| | | Long Life; Average life expectancy of 25 years plus, against 18 | | | years for a high-efficiency furnace or 12.5 years for an A/C.
| | | Clean and Quiet; with no noisy outside equipment to annoy you on | | | a summers day and no dinosaur raw in the basement of your
money being burnt through the winter.
| | | More Space; more usable space in the home is available because | | | of their clean quiet operation they do not have to be located far
away from living space in a dedicated room.
| | | Simple; Depending on options just one geothermal system can | | | keep you comfortable in summer and winter and also provide most
of your domestic hot water needs by transferring an excess portion
of the heat in the system and to your hot water tank.
