Heating and cooling accounts for about 45 percent of your energy bill. The federal government estimates that the average homeowner spends more than $10,000 for heating and cooling over a ten year period.
A Geothermal system can dramatically reduce your heating and cooling utility bills.

How does geothermal work?
Ground source heat pumps work by circulating water or a water/antifreeze solution through a closed loop of polyethylene pipe that is buried in the ground or set beneath the water. GSHP systems can be laid out in different orientations, depending on the situation. A closed loop system, the most popular, can be laid out either vertically in 50 -250 foot deep holes drilled like a well, or horizontally in 3-6 foot deep trenches. The less common open loop system circulates a constant source of ground water and dispels the water back to its origin, such as a stream, well, or pond.
Summer - geothermal systems take heat from the structure, transfer the heat to refrigerant in the continuous loop tubing, where it is cooled by the 50 degree temperature of the earth and returned via the duct system or radiant floor heating.
Winter - geothermal systems absorb heat from the from the earth, transfer that heat to a refrigerant in the continuous loop tubing, then a compressor increases the temperature and the warm air is returned via the duct system or radiant floor heating. |

Geothermal systems require a small amount of electricity to transfer heat to and from the ground. In fact, a geothermal system can deliver an astounding five units of energy for every one unit of electrical energy used. Compared to conventional systems, Geothermal systems consume 50% – 70% less energy for heating, cooling and hot water. |

Interest in Geothermal energy continues to surge!
With the new Federal Tax Incentive, available until 2016, the return on investment that was approximately 3-5 years may now be immediate.
Utilizing the 30% tax credit on the entire system and with no cap on the amount, the initial cost of a Geothermal System may be equal to or less than a traditional fossil-fuel based system in many cases.
