We're pleased to be partnering with WaterFurnace Renewable Energies to bring both our Richmond homeowners as well as commercial accounts the best Geothermal energy products around.

In addition to wanting to save money each month on energy costs, many of our homeowners are concerned about their carbon footprint and the impact their home – and the energy their family uses – is having on the environment. This goes for commercial buildings as well. There's a great desire for both green home and green building engineering and technology since energy efficiency is such a hot topic these days and soon to be included as a building requirement in some cases.

Here are a few benefits of Geothermal Heat Pumps and why you might want to consider this purchase sooner rather than later:

Using the Energy of the Sun Below Ground

The beauty of Geothermal heating and cooling systems is both their sustainability as well as energy efficiency because the temperature just a few feet below ground remains almost constant throughout the year, regardless of climate or season. And that's because the ground around your home or building absorbs and retains about 47% of the sun's energy.

Doesn't Burn Fossil Fuels

The idea behind a Geothermal heat pump is that is uses a small-diameter pipe called an earth loop to get to this energy source and to provide both cooling in the summer and heating in the winter – without burning fossil fuels. That's an important aspect.

Noise Pollution is Reduced

And, with a Geothermal heat pump from WaterFurnace, even noise is reduced because the system's sound level is similar to that of a refrigerator.

30% Federal Tax Credits

Purchases of Geothermal units qualify for Federal tax credits for Energy Efficiency under President Obama's stimulus plan. As a result, some Richmond area homeowners are getting reimbursed for $5,000 - $12,000 of their purchase price on a Geothermal heating and cooling system making "going green" affordable as well.

Money Saved Each Month

WaterFurnace says that Geothermal energy is the most plentiful source of renewable energy available, which makes it truly the greenest home technology. Homeowners can reduce both their carbon footprint and their utility bills each month. With a WaterFurnace Envision system, for example, the energy savings realized can be as much as 70% compared with a conventional system (natural gas, oil, electricity or propane fuel). And those savings can add up to hundreds of dollars each month and thousands each year , year after year.

There's no better time to consider a Geothermal heat pump and system for your green home or commercial building.
