| Geothermal Heating is From Solar Energy |
Did you know that geothermal is really solar energy from our best solar collector? Well, it is!
 |
| Earth Absorbs 50% of Solar Energy |
The earth absorbs 50% of the energy that hits the surface,
and that energy goes into the ground so that we can use it later on. Even when
it's cold and wintry, that heat energy is just a few feet below the surface ready to
help us heat (and cool) our homes!
Much like the way the way the roots of a tree exchange the
essentials of life with their leaves and branches, a geothermal heat pump (GHP)
system provides unmatched comfort and tranquility to your home and family. You
experience peace and quiet, contentment and efficiency while your geothermal
system saves energy for generations to come.

| Geothermal Works With the Earth, Like a Tree |
Outside, temperatures fluctuate with the changing seasons,
but underground temperatures don't change nearly as much, because the earth is
a great big solar collector, receiving and storing energy. Below the ground,
the temperature remains relatively constant year round. A geothermal heat pump system,
takes these constant temperatures to provide "free" energy.
Just take a look at some of the other great benefits of geothermal:
- No more noisy outdoor air-conditioners
- Safe from storms and bad weather
- They last a long time (all inside)
- No flames or combustion (so there’s less C02 emissions, too!)
- More comfy environment
- Geothermal likes to share energy with hot water tanks and pools
- Super energy efficient (Best in the business; Really!)
- Super good incentives from US government (and loads of others, too!)
Watch in 2015 for some awesome new information on geothermal,
and remember; Geothermal IS Solar Energy!
