What does geothermal mean for the environment?
Geothermal systems work with nature, not against it. They emit no greenhouse gases, which have been linked to global warming, acid rain and other environmental hazards. UMR Geothermal provides earth-loop antifreeze which will not harm the environment in the unlikely event of a leak. The newer geothermal heat pumps use R-410A, a performance-enhancing refrigerant that will not harm the earth’s ozone layer.
