Home and business owners across the U. S. are taking advantage of the most energy-efficent and environmentally clean heating and cooling systems available. These geothermal systems take advantage of the earth's relatively constant temperature to cool and heat homes and provide hot water. By using the earth as a solar collector, these units are able to save you money by lowering your utility bills (25% to 50% lower than with conventional systems), while providing a high level of comfort. It also will enhance the resale value of your home. A recent study by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency showed that geothermal systems generally have the lowest life-cycle cost of all heating and cooling systems available today.
