Geothermal can both heat and cool homes. Below what is called the frost line, temperatures are a steady fifty degrees (F). It doesn’t matter if you live in sunny Southern California or Maine, the temperature at this point is always steady and there is no variance. It’s basically as simple as digging a hole, putting a plastic pipe in it, create moving fluid around it and you’ve created a heating and cooling system. Like Solar Energy as installed by the knowledgeable staff and engineers of Sungate Energy Solutions, this type of energy is free from the use of fossil fuels and is renewable energy. No carbon footprints result from the use of geothermal energy.

When the pump is installed in homes to move the water around, the geothermal unit is both the heater and the air conditioner. A system is used to heat and cool the air and then the air is moved through the ducts of the house.

Sungate Energy solutions has compared costs of installation for both solar and geothermal power systems and on the average size home, the cost of installation for geothermal runs higher. Also, drilling is needed for geothermal which destroys yards and landscaping in the process. With the installation of solar panels, nothing invasive will happen to a home.

Sungate Energy Solutions would like homeowners to know the facts about choices that you have regarding alternative forms of energy. For more information about alternative energy and the advantages of solar power, please visit us.
