The most
efficient and economical resource for heating and cooling
your home is right in your own backyard. For years, people
have talked about the possibility of tapping the earth's solar
storage capacity for practical, low-cost residential energy
management. Now the technology to achieve this is available
to you with -- GEOTHERMAL!
The concept
is simple. Water and an alcohol solution circulate through
a series of plastic pipes (called a loop) placed in the ground
or submerged in a pond. Heat is absorbed and carried to the
geothermal unit, which extracts the heat, compresses it to
higher temperatures and distributes it through the home. A
conventional well may also be used to provide the heat source.
In either case, the process is reversed during the summer
months by removing the heat from inside the home.
