Going Green






We recently had a new heating and cooling system installed. It's a geothermal heat pump and it uses the constant temperature of the earth (55 degrees) to heat and cool our home, as opposed to heat run on gas and air conditioning that uses a compresser. It's the "green" way to go because it uses so much less energy. Yes, we are "going green," but you know what else it uses a lot less of? Our money. That's the real motivation here, people. The electric company throws money at you and so does the government when you put one of these things in and it doesn't take long to earn the cost of the unit and installation back. These pictures are from the installation a few weeks ago.
