Our
Mission
To promote technologies that use earth's
abundant energies like Geothermal
Heating and Cooling; to lower demand
for fossil fuels and produce less
green house gases.
A short description
of a Geothermal heat pump system:
The sun radiates heat daily all over
the earth; this heat is stored beneath
the ground at a constant temperature.
(Northern US 45-55degrees)
A heat pump circulates a liquid under-ground
or in a pond that exchanges BTU's
with a refrigerant. A heat pump then
increases the temperature of a refrigerant
to 120-140 degrees during the heating
season and reverses during the cooling
season. The system transfers BTU's
to or from the earth.
The only energy used is electrical
to run a blower or pump depending
on the system whether radiant or a
forced air system.
Geothermal is partially a form of
solar energy that works 24/7; not
requiring oil, gas or propane to operate.
You are no longer tied to the wild
swings of the oil and gas industry
and the system keeps paying for itself.
A Geothermal system can also be multi-functional
including radiant in-floor heat, forced
air heating and cooling, refrigeration
and hot water heating. A great option
for new construction or retro-fitting
an existing residential or commercial
building.
