GEOTHERMAL - Applications
Geothermal Systems can be installed in new homes, retrofitted to existing homes, and practically any type of commercial building.  Although most systems are simply single units in a forced air application, geothermal systems can also be used for other types of installations, such as:
Curme residence, geothermal well drilling
        
  Radiant floor heating

                       Domestic Hot Water

                                  Pool Heating

                                            Snow and Ice Melt

                                                       Commercial Applications

Radiant in-floor piping installation
Radiant Floor Heating: Some geothermal units can provide hot water for radiant floor applications, utilizingRadiant in-floor piping installation tubing encased in the floor.  By circulating warm water through the tubing, the room is comfortably conditioned.  Since the entire floor acts as a giant radiator, you will experience consistent comfort throughout the room from head to toe.  Floors covered in tile, wood, linoleum or stone are kept toasty warm, even on the coldest days.  Homeowners with radiant floor heating systems enjoy the benefit of warm bathroom floors even with bare feet.  Basement floors or other concrete slab floors are also a perfect application for radiant heating.  And with an individual thermostat in every room, you can simultaneously keep the bathroom floors at a higher temperature, your bedrooms and main living areas warm and cozy, while just taking the chill off of a basement floor; it's completely up to you.

Domestic Hot Water: Homes with large demands for domestic or potable water heating will benefit from the exceptional efficiency of geothermal units.  When used in conjunction with another geothermal unit to condition the air inside the house, the complete system provides the ultimate in savings and comfort with safe, reliable, quiet performance.

Pool Heating: Units can also be utilized to heat water for pools and spas.  You'll find a geothermal unit will heat your pool or spa for much less than an ordinary pool heater.  And compared to fossil fuel burning heaters, it's much safer, too, without the concerns associated with carbon monoxide poisoning.Snow Melt in action

Snow and Ice Melt: Using a geothermal unit, you can keep your sidewalks or driveway free of ice and snow during the cold winter months.  Eliminate the hazards of walking on ice-covered sidewalks, and forget the back-breaking effort of shoveling snow. 

Commercial Applications: In addition to being a smart choice for residential installations, many commercial and institutional buildings utilize geothermal systems including offices, retail, hotels, apartments/condos, resorts, schools, hospitals, assisted living centers and manufacturing facilities.
