Your own backyard has potential to be an energy source for heating and cooling comfort. Outdoor air temperature fluctuate throughout the ear with the changing seasons. In contrast, ground temperatures about four to six feet below the Earth’s surface remain relatively moderate and constant  all year.

That’s because the Earth absorbs heat energy from the sun. A geothermal system circulates a water-based solution through a buried loop system to take advantage of these constant temperatures.

A single piece of equipment has the ability to heat and cool your home, while providing some or all of your home’s hot water as well. Geothermal systems can save you 30% to 70% on your monthly utility bills.

According to the EPA:

• Geothermal systems are the “green” energy for your home and office.

• Replacing a conventional HVAC system with geothermal heat pump is environmentally friendly and as valuable to the environment as planting 750 trees.

• In the United States, if everyone heated and cooled their homes with green geothermal heating and cooling, we would save billions of dollars every year.

• Geothermal systems have the potential of reducing carbon emissions by more than 1 million metric tons every year.

• Geothermal systems currently in use save 30 million barrels of oil every year.

• A typical home geothermal system such as WaterFurnace is equal in greenhouse gas reduction to taking two cars off the road, or planting an acre of trees.

At Gray Company, we specialize in providing geothermal pumps to the Greater Boston and New Hampshire area.   Geothermal heating and cooling systems, such as WaterFurnace, are environmentally friendly, cost effective, and energy efficient.
