Learning the basics of geothermal technology options for your home or business will help you determine if this heating and cooling system is right for you.

Geothermal heat pumps have been used as a source for indoor heat and cooling since the 1940s, but there are still many property owners who don’t know all the options available through this energy efficient technology.  

A geothermal exchange system uses the earth’s natural, relatively constant thermal temperature to heat, cool and provide hot water for a home or business.

Installing a geothermal heating system in Massachusetts just got a lot cheaper. A new program overseen by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (Mass CEC) will provide $30 million in rebates over the next five years to fund the installation of clean, cost-effective heating and cooling systems in homes and businesses across the state.

Consumers today have many options when it comes to heating and cooling their homes. Traditional air conditioners and heating systems are historically popular options, but with green energy making its name with full force, solar, wind, and geothermal energy sources are great options for homeowners.
