Save Green by Going Green October 10, 2011 With the increasing emphasis on "going green", Patriot Air Comfort Systems proudly helps Columbus residents to stay at the "green forefront". With geothermal heating and cooling system solutions, the very ground your home rests on is your energy source. 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 reach around 6 feet, the ground around Columbus stays at a moderately steady temperature throughout the year. Every geothermal unit that we install is designed to put that natural energy stored in the ground to work for you; for year round “green” comfort. A Columbus geothermal system will draw on 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 on your first utility bill. How about saving green? Many state and federal incentive program exist 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. Start 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.
