EarthLinked Technologies, Inc. (ETI) was established in 1980 under the pioneering spirit of its founder, Robert Cochran, P.E., an electrical engineer. His goal was to develop the simplest, most efficient means of using the solar energy stored in the shallow earth for heating water. The vision was based on the fact that almost one-half of the solar energy that strikes the earth is absorbed by it. That stored energy is a clean, local, renewable source that is free for the harvest.

The ETI system is mechanically simple, innovative and more efficient than other systems because it directly accesses renewable energy stored in the earth. The efficiency and simplicity of the system is based on proprietary technology that combines innovative refrigerant flow controls and copper-based earth loops. The results are astonishing:

• U.S. EPA verified 75% electrical and emissions savings in Commercial Water Heating with the EarthLinked heat pump.
• Photovoltaic module cooling with ETI’s heat pump circuit to improve power output and deliver recovered heat for commercial water heating.

Today EarthLinked systems are saving energy and the environment in 47 states and 15 countries.

Clean Energy Technology

The quality of life and the future of mankind depend upon clean air, clean water and the preservation of natural resources, including energy. The earth is a closed system, a biosphere. The only resource input into the system is solar energy that reaches the earth daily. We were given only one planet to sustain us. Future generations of our families and yours are dependent upon what we pass on to them. We take that responsibility very seriously.

We recognize that our success at EarthLinked Technologies depends upon advancing cost-effective innovations that deliver high efficiency, high performance and reduce human impact upon the environment. By harvesting renewable solar directly or the energy stored in the shallow earth, ETI is providing solutions to two of the major challenges that face mankind this century—energy and the environment. Reducing fossil fuel firing and the resulting emission of greenhouse gases with the EarthLinked^® system reduces the ecological impact of heating and cooling and electrical energy production.

We believe that how we keep our energy efficiency and environmental promises and what we deliver to our customers around the world creates a sustainable difference. There is a beneficial, enduring contest underway to “out-green” our competition and it benefits everyone. Succeeding at that goal is Plan “A”. There is no Plan “B”.
