Geothermal Heating, Cooling
& Hot Water Systems

(This page is still under construction)

    According to the US Dept of Energy, a GeoThermal Heat Pump System lasts from 30 to 40 years with little or no maintenance and pays for itself in from 7 to 10 years by drastically reducing  ...
   ●  your monthly Heating and Air Conditioning bills by a total of 45% or more;
   ●  your water heating cost in the winter while yielding FREE hot water in the
       summer;
   ●  your dependence on non-renewable energy resources;  and ...
   ●  your "contribution" to air (and outdoor noise) pollution, in the bargain!

    For all the information on residential Geothermal Heating & Cooling Systems you might want and then some, go to the highly interesting, US Department of Energy's,   Residential GHC Site  written in English, NOT in "Techno-Speak".
