First there was wood,then coal, followed by

oilAnd now, free energy

from the earth itself toheat and cool your home

.

The old method of ResidentialHeating and Cooling Most homes have a separate heating system

which burns expensive oil or gas in a furnace.


3/33

Residential Heating and Cooling The furnace heats air and sends it through the

home via air ducts to each room.

Some homes use boilers to send hot water toradiators.

A lot of money goes upthe chimney

!nfortunately" especially with

furnaces and boilers built before

#$$$" much of the heat goes up

the chimney instead of heating

your home.

%oor e&ciency ' (asted money

)n fact" according to *Consumer Reports+"most gas furnaces built in the ,$s had anAnnual -uel !tiliation /&ciency around 012.

And most oil burners were even worse.

-ossil fuels seem more expensive

every dayAs energy costs have gone up" the industry

has been trying to 3nd ways to 4eep your

home comfortable for less cost.

-ree energy from the earth )nstead of burning fossil fuels" some

companies have solved the problem by ta4ingfree energy from the ground to 4eep youcomfortable.

The process is called 5/6TH/RMA7 heating andcooling.

A couple feet down" the ground stays approximately

11 degrees all year long. And 11 degrees is warm in

the (inter and cool in the Summer.

)t is that temperature di;erential which ma4es aheat pump wor4.

Geothermal Energy Eciency

• With geothermal, you only pay for roughly !" of your home#s

heating and cooling costs, the rest comes FREE from your bac$yard

Average S//R ratings for air conditioners from the ,$s

would have been 0 ? D

with mid range units at >.1 to >, S//R .

Some high e&ciency air conditioners o;er #D S//R ratings.

!nfortunately" as the weather gets hotter" conventional AECe&ciency can decrease by over #$2 in e&ciencyF

Next Energy Geothermal systems range from #1 G $S//R ratings and their e&ciency remains stable" even onthe hottest daysF

-ree Central Air Conditioning)n addition to saying *5ood @ye+ to your oilman" another big bene3t is that while you arepurchasing an extremely e&cient heating

system for your home you are also getting aproperly sied central air conditioning system"virtually for freeF

-ree Central Air Conditioning with a5eothermal Heat %ump System

@ecause a heat pump uses refrigerant to change thetemperature of the air ust li4e the refrigerant in your

refrigerator which is actually a heat pump operating inthe cooling mode.

All you feel is comfort So" go ahead" set the thermostat to be

comfortable.

Bo more wearing sweaters in the (inter because

it is too expensive to 4eep the house at acomfortable temperature ? sweaters should be afashion statementF


18/33

All you feel is comfort The heat pump does the rest by simply

reversing the direction the refrigerant Iows inthe system

The refrigerant wor4s as well at warming yourhome as it does cooling your home.

A refrigerator is a heat

pumpA refrigerator is a heat pump

operating in the cooling mode

• There are two heat exchange

coils and a compressor which

moves refrigerant between

the two coils

The theory of *removingheat+

A refrigerator feels cool on the inside becauseheat from the inside has been absorbed byrefrigerant in the cooling coil.

That refrigerant constantly circulates"carrying the heat it ust pic4ed up to

another coil on the bac4 where a fan

blows air across it" ta4ing the heat away.

Methods of extracting energy

from the earth To get energy from the earth" you can drill

a well" pump water up to the heat pump

and drop it bac4 down into the groundG that method is called an open loop.

6r" insert pipes into borings and

run Iuid thru the pipes. The Iuid is constantlycirculated" exchanging energy between the earth and

the heat exchanger" that is a closed loop system.


24/33

%ros and cons of open loop systems6pen loop system

%ros

5enerally cheaper to install

6nly needs two or three wells.

Cons

Kumps water bac4 into aLuifer or soil after use

ReLuires high H% pump ' expensive to run

Should treat water entering system

%ump submerged >$$ feet with relatively shorter life expectancy

Beeds well drilling truc4 to repair or replace pump with associated property damage

ReLuires K/C permit and report if failure occurs

So" how can 1$ degree earth

temperatures replace >0$$degree Iames in a furnaceA furnace uses Iames" created from burning oil or

gas" to heat air.

(hen you stop the Iames" the area cools Luic4ly toambient temperature and more Iames are called for"

which means more oil or gas is used.

And dont forget" much of the heat

from those Iames goes up the chimney.


27/33

So" how can 1$ degree earthtemperature replace >0$$

degree Iames in a furnaceA geothermal system absorbs ground temperature and

carries it to a coil in the heat pump.

The refrigerant in the coil either boils or turns cold" depending

on which way the refrigerant is traveling in the loop.

How about maintenance costsO

Remember the refrigerator exampleO

So" what will it costO@y using )ntegrated 5eothermal" you can order

your brand new" high e&ciency geothermalheating and cooling system and pay almostnothing downF

And the system will pay for itself usually in to0 years out of the savings you enoy fromsaying *5ood @ye+ to your oil man.

So if you are paying your energy bills" this is theopportunity you have been waiting for.
