Tap into Natural Power
- a dirt-cheap solution -

Unhappy about rising energy costs? Then look down—at the ground, that is—because the solution to high heating bills is right under your feet.

There’s an affordable alternative just below the surface of your own backyard. Geothermal technology taps solar energy stored deep in the soil, turning it into a natural power source to heat and cool your home. Though outdoor temperatures fluctuate with changing seasons, the temperature several feet underground remains fairly constant; the geothermal method utilizes buried loops that capture this “free” heat, transferring it to and/ or from your home, depending on the season, to create a comfortable indoor environment.

This high-efficiency, low-maintenance process reduces energy costs by up to 60 or even 70 percent compared to conventional HVAC models. Geothermal isn’t free, but it’s significantly less expensive—you could even call it dirt cheap.

Geothermal technology works with nature—not against it. Rather than  burning fossil fuels, geothermal comfort systems transfer heat via naturally occurring energy. The emissions-free process saves more than money—it’s a sustainable option that also saves the environment. Indeed, this “green” method is amazingly efficient; according to the EPA, geothermal heat pumps reduce energy consumption—and corresponding emissions—up to 44 percent compared to air source heat pumps and up to 72 percent compared to electric resistance heating.

Geothermal pays for itself. The initial cost of a geothermal comfort system is higher than that of conventional models. Energy savings quickly add up, however, allowing you to recoup the difference in purchase price in as little as three years. There are tax benefits as well; install an Energy Star-rated geothermal system in your home and receive a 30 percent tax credit for the total cost, including parts and labor.

Let the experts at Carolina Heating Service design, install and maintain a geothermal system for your home or business—we’ll help you get comfortable saving energy.
