GEOTHERMAL BENEFITS

EXPERIENCED GEOTHERMAL SERVICES NEW YORKAccording to a study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) geothermal systems are, "the most energy efficient environmentally clean and cost-effective space conditioning systems available today." With Geothermal systems extremely high levels of efficiency are possible because a geothermal heat pump only uses electricity to move heat not produce it. Geothermal units on average supply four to five kilowatts of heat for every kilowatt of electricity used, while three to four of these kilowatts of free clean and renewable heat is produced directly from the earth itself. Geothermal heat pumps also utilize the mild ground temperature for extremely efficient cooling. Many systems also include a hot water generator, that can divert a portion of the supplied heat to a domestic water heater. This technology provides a substantial portion of hot water needs at a very low cost during the winter months. Geothermal technology is one of the efficient cooling and heating options available today. The Principles Of GeothermalGeothermal heating and cooling systems, also called geo-exchange or ground-source heat pumps, provide all-season heating and cooling by tapping the natural constant energy stored in the earth. HEAT Conventional furnaces burn fossil fuels, deplete precious resources and pollute the air. A Geothermal system draws the earth's natural warmth without burning anything. AIR CONDITIONING Conventional cooling systems pump indoor heat to the hot outdoor air, requiring large amounts of energy. Without using much electricity, a geothermal system draws the earth's cooler temperature into the water, providing cost-effective summer comfort. HOT WATER Geothermal heat pumps produce efficient low-cost hot water, this is be done by using a dedicated open or a closed loop ground source. SAVINGS
