Largest Geothermal Community in the Country
WHAT IS GEOTHERMAL?
Geothermal energy is the process of harnessing the natural temperature of the earth’s crust to regulate the temperature of homes or water. Through the use of liquid cooling pipes that store the natural temperature of the earth’s crust, which is between 55-65 degrees, geothermal units are able to heat and cool homes more efficiently. Our geothermal systems dig down two hundred feet per metric ton, and cycle cooled air above and push hot air below in order to create a more climate controlled home. In the winter this system is worked in reverse by pulling the warmer ground temperatures up and pushing the cooler air temperature below. The pipes take up minimal space underground and can last for generations.
