Save Green by Going Green October 10, 2011 With the increasing importance on "going green", Energy Efficiency Associates is proud to help Alaska residents stay at the "green forefront". With geothermal heating and cooling system solutions, the very ground your home resides 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 Alaska 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 Alaska geothermal system will tap into that reliable source of energy in order to provide your home with heating and cooling. A geothermal system simply pulls the heat from the ground in winter resulting in a fantastic efficiency rating, and will save you money on your first utility bill. Did we mention saving green as well? There are many potential state and federal incentives for installing 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. Begin 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. Energy Efficiency Associates has the experienced personnel to help Alaska residents find a geothermal solution that fits your home’s heating and cooling goals. Contact us today to get started.
