Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum

Heating and air conditioning companies are beginning to see an increase in the use of geothermal energy and have been installing them in homes and businesses. The first concept of using this energy source was in 1922 when a group of inventors attempted to pull natural energy power from The Geysers steam field in California. This energy concept, introduced to the public around 2004, is gaining in popularity for a host of reasons. This system is expensive and costs from $15,000 to $25,000 to install in a private single-family home, but is said to last upwards of 50 years. This system gleans its power from under the earth. The reasons that geothermal systems are popular is that even though it is expensive for consumers to have heating and air conditioning companies install a geothermal system, the consumer saves a tremendous amount of money yearly. This eco-friendly system improves the comfort in homes and businesses and adapts into existing heating and cooling systems, such as radiant floor heating systems and traditional units. The pipeline for this system uses four different types. The Horizontal Loop has sealed piping, buried in trenches up to 6 feet deep. The Vertical Loop has sealed piping loops embedded into the earth at about 400 feet using a well-drilling rig. Well-water systems take an ample amount of water from nearby, such as a pond. The water needs to be of good quality, and unsealed piping embeds slightly under the ground in order to pull the water. The Pond Loop utilizes an adequate amount of water near the home through sealed piping loops lying at the bottom of the water source. These four types allow for the system to pull the energy source from inside the earth. Only a small amount of consumers use geothermal energy because it is costly to install and remains a relatively new energy concept. So far, our society sees an increase in renewable energy in solar, wind, and water, and now, geothermal systems.
The geothermal energy concept originated in the state of California, and this system continues to grow in that state. One of the largest and the first power plants using geothermal energy is located at The Geysers, where, in 1922, it started as only a remote idea for power. Third World countries are finding this concept in power necessary and are seeing more power plants emerge. With all this said, the world uses only a tiny fraction of what it could utilize by installing this system. However, the concept of geothermal steadily increases. Large companies find that it is worthwhile to invest in a geothermal system. Heating and air conditioning companies realize an influx of businesses and in private homes requesting this system. In areas where there are reservoirs or bodies of water, sealed piping sends the water through heat exchangers. These exchangers transfer the heat from this water source to and through the buildings or homes. Whether piping is embedded in shallow trenches, piping down 200‒400 feet, or a few miles below the earth’s surface where temperatures are considered molten and reach upward to 4000 degrees, businesses do appreciate this new energy concept because it is clean and renewable, meaning what comes out of the ground returns and recycles back into the earth. The earth loses heat and energy every day, so why not capture and put this loss of power to good use?
All Seasons is a heating and air conditioning company that is well aware of the geothermal system spreading and the concept increasing in popularity, which is why we offer a geothermal system as part of our service. We are skilled and trained in this new recyclable energy, promoting and expanding on the enormous benefits it has to offer consumers. Other states are noticing that heating and air cooling companies across the United States are offering this system as one of their services. Installation of geothermal systems, whether they are for a private residence or a business, continue to increase. Cost does not seem to be too much of a factor because the world, in general, is conscious of energy-saving options and more people want to “Go Green.” Everything in life has a pro and a con, and geothermal energy is no exception. The benefits of harnessing clean, recyclable power from inside the earth’s surface and saving an enormous amount of money over time are attractive and appealing to private citizens, businesses, large corporations, and government entities. The negatives with this system are few, such as there is always the concern that greenhouse gas emissions come to the earth’s surface and are released into the air. It is for this reason that sealed piping, in many instances, is utilized in the construction of geothermal systems. The efficiency of these geothermal systems is off the scale percentage wise when considering the savings in power usage as compared with the best energy-saving furnace and air conditioning units available in today’s marketplace. This saving takes into consideration the electricity it takes to power the system. The best energy-saving heating and air conditioning units cannot even begin to compare. Another possible negative is these huge geothermal power plants must scale the land they want to build, take soil samples, and take an inside look at the earth below to determine whether or not that area is stable and can remain stable enough to support such a huge power plant. These power plants can affect the stability of the land upon which they sit.
Now, geothermal systems take their place in the category of renewable energy sources because the system receives a heat source from the rocks and fluid formations beneath the earth. Heating and air conditioning companies see an excellent future for geothermal power for a lot of good reasons, such as cost-effectiveness, safety, eco-friendliness, and cleanliness. This system is ideal for the increased building of green homes. There will be an increased demand for geothermal energy soon. The uses for this energy include direct usage where there is a spring or pond near water or steam heated upward to 600 degrees. The interesting fact is that whatever the system takes from the earth, whether it is water, heat or steam, it replaces and recycles back where it came from. This cycling of energy sources makes this system an excellent system for sustainable energy.
Consumers feel that installing a geothermal system is well worth the cost, which is why our heating and air conditioning service offers this money-saving, recyclable energy system. All Seasons Heating & Cooling of Dubuque, Iowa believes that even replacing old heating and cooling systems with a new horizontal or vertical geothermal ground source or ground-loop heating and cooling system is very much worth the time and investment. Give us a call today to find out you can save money with a stake in the future of clean recyclable energy.
