Save Green by Going Green October 10, 2011 With the growing emphasis on "going green", Gochnauer at Home gladly offers Lancaster homeowners to stay at the "green forefront". With geothermal heating and cooling system solutions, the very ground your home resides on is the source of your home’s heating and cooling. Also called ground-source conditioning, the basic function is this. The earth absorbs the Sun’s rays and stores that energy below ground level. After you dig down around a depth of six feet, the ground around Lancaster stays at a fairly steady temperature throughout the year. Every geothermal unit that we install is designed to put that natural energy held in the ground to work for you; for year round “green” comfort. A Lancaster geothermal system will tap into that reliable source of energy in order to bring comfort to your home. A geothermal pump simply pushes the heat into the ground in summer bringing about a fantastic efficiency rating, and will save you money in the first month. How about saving green? There are many potential state and federal incentives for implementing geothermal conditioning in your area. The federal government currently offers a Renewable Energy Credit that will give you a onetime tax credit for 30% of the total investment for home owners and 10% of the total investment for a commercial geothermal system. Begin saving money, and help the environment, by installing in a geothermal system. Check out our geothermal savings calculator, and see about how much you will save every month.
