Why Geothermal Heating & Cooling Systems?
To move toward becoming self sustainable in energy and not reliant on paying high energy prices for heating and cooling. Although the energy systems are costly to put in, they completely pay themselves off in 5 years delivering inexpensive heating and air conditioning to your home. Energy exchangers and geothermal systems can provide homeowners significant savings in both heating and cooling costs. When homeowners evaluate these systems, it is important for them to consider impacts on the environment in their comparisons. Permits are required for some of these systems because of their potential impacts on lakes, ponds, streams, and ground water. What are Geothermal Systems? Ground-source or geothermal pumps are Electric-powered systems that use the earth’s relatively constant temperature to provide heating in winter and cooling in summer. The two basic types of systems are closed loop and open loop. Closed-Loop Geothermal Systems Closed-loop geothermal systems usually circulate a heat-
