Did you ever think you could heat and cool your home with energy from the earth located underneath your backyard?  Now, you can become energy independent and free yourself from your gas company’s rate hikes – virtually forever.

Geothermal energy is created from the heat retained within the Earth since its original formation and from continuous solar energy absorbed at the surface.  Closed loop geothermal heat pumps circulate a carrier fluid (usually a water/antifreeze mix) through pipes buried in the ground and can store heat and / or cooling energy until it is needed by your home.

Geothermal HVAC system costs have declined considerably over the past several years and offer quick payback to homeowners.  It is simple, effective and relatively maintenance free.  Long term utility costs to heat and cool your home can decrease by 80% or more. A geothermal heating  & cooling system is the one required renewable energy component necessary to move to a net zero energy home, which is a home that generates enough energy to cover all of the homes requirements.
