Geothermal Heating & Cooling

Geothermal heating and cooling is an excellent example of renewable energy that uses the relatively constant temperature of the surrounding earth as a source of energy for creating/facilitating the heating and cooling needs of a structure. Using geothermal systems greatly reduce the dependence upon the burning of coal, natural gas or other hydrocarbons and their harmful emissions; create no hazardous waste unlike nuclear power plants and coal mines; and avoid mass disruption to ecosystems that occur with the building and maintenance of such facilities as hydro-electric dams and coal mines.

Passive Solar Water Heating (Solar Thermal Energy)

Passive solar water heating is an excellent example of renewable energy that uses solar energy to create hot water without using substantial amounts of electricity or natural gas that would otherwise be required. The heated water can be used for personal consumption and the heating and cooling of a building. Using passive solar systems greatly reduce the dependence upon the burning of coal, natural gas or other hydrocarbons and their harmful emissions in the creation of hot water; create no hazardous waste unlike nuclear power plants and coal mines; and avoid mass disruption to ecosystems that occur with the building and maintenance of such facilities as hydro-electric dams and coal mines.

Pex Plumbing Systems

PEX is cross-linked polyethylene tubing. The material is more durable under temperature extremes, chemical attack, and better resists creep deformation, making PEX an excellent material for plumbing systems, hydronic radiant floor heating, snow melting applications, refrigeration, etc. It is flexible, making it easy to install and service as well as quiet in operation. It can withstand the high and low temperatures which means fewer fractured lines from freezing. It’s smooth interior, fewer joints and chemically resistance qualities reduce corrosion, chance of leaks, and extend the life of the systems with less maintenance relative to copper-based systems. The manifold-direct line supply system can substantially reduce water and energy consumption because dedicated supply lines do not purge as much water to receive hot water at a fixture. This style of system also provides flexibility in sizing lines resulting in additional usage efficiencies. Collectively, these attributes save costs related to installation, system materials, water usage, energy consumption, and maintenance - all while delivering easier installation, and cleaner, quieter, faster hot water.
