The control of the system is from a glow in the dark, digital touch pad. It can tell you the status of the system, let you program detailed temperature profiles for different times of day, or simply adjust the temperature by a degree or two.

Geothermal Drilling Operation

This is a example of a residential GeoExchange drilling operation.  Multiple wells are drilled and the pipes placed in them are connected to a manifold.   Pipes in a trench will connect to the rest of the equipment inside the home’s basement.  After installation, there are no visible outdoor components.

Domestic Hot Water

 

This is an installation of  a heat exchanger and storage tank to get “free” domestic hot water from roof mounted solar collectors.

Hydro Air Installation

A typical installation. The oil fired boiler is to the right. The manifold on the wall has valves and pumps to send heated water to individual air handlers and the domestic hot water storage tank.

Solar Collector Installation

Harvesting free energy from sunlight.
