GEOTHERMAL
geothermalsystem2Ground source water is always 56 degrees, year round, and circulates in a closed loop under our streets. Each home on the geothermal loop, using a water furnace, can heat or cool easily and efficiently. When using geothermal energy you’re not making heat, you’re moving heat. Geothermal energy is really captured solar energy. A geothermal waterfurnace is 400% more efficient than a gas furnace to heat and cool your home.

Our community center, Painters Hall, is also connected to the geothermal loop, keeping the center at a comfortable temperature all year-round – sustainably and ecologically! Some of the extra energy generated by Painters Hall’s 20.2kW rooftop solar array is used to power the geothermal system pump. How is that for efficiency!?
