Geothermal energy is energy harnessed from the Earth’s natural heat.

Key Concepts/Benefits:

A geothermal system is a network of pipes approximately 6 feet underground which, using the Earth’s natural heat, connect to a geothermal unit capable of efficiently powering anything from small homes to large power plants.  Geothermal systems are valuable because they provide a sustainable, efficient, cheap, and environmentally friendly heating and cooling system.

Why Geothermal?

• Cost Effective: 30% up to 80% in energy cost savings
• Environmentally Friendly: Uses the natural energy warmth of the earth, sustainable, clean, no toxins are pumped into the air
• Adaptable: A variety of sizes mean geothermal systems are fit for the smallest or largest projects
• Low Maintenance: Units only require the replacement of an electrostatic filter once a month
• Noise free: Units have no fan so they are completely silent
• Long System Life: systems have a life expectancy of 20-25 years
• Tax Credit: The Canadian government currently gives out tax credits for any Green friendly retrofits to both homes and businesses through ECOenergy Retrofit – Homes.

-also – suitable for year round, all climates etc. Capable of being installed in a variety of locations?

How it Works:

In order to harness the Earth’s natural heat, a series of pipes must be buried approximately 6 feet underground.  Ethanol is pumped throughout copper piping as it is an excellent conductor.  In the winter, the ethanol absorbs the heat from the ground and is then pumped back above ground to the geothermal unit.  In the summer, this process is reversed, where the warm ethanol from the surface is sent underground and then cooled by the Earth.  Harnessing the difference in the earth’s rather constant temperature and the air’s fluctuating seasonal temperature is what powers the geothermal unit.
