Geothermal Homes

Geothermal Homes

Geothermal systems use a loop of high-density polyethylene water pipe placed under ground, where almost 50 percent of all solar energy is absorbed and a temperature between 50 degrees to 70 degrees is maintained. Water and an anti-freezing agent are circulated through these underground pipes to absorb and expel heat, depending on the season.

In winter, the system absorbs heat from the earth and coverts it to warm air for heating your home. In summer, the system reverses itself, gathering heat from your home and expelling it into the cooler earth. Typically, a geothermal heating and cooling system requires half the natural gas or half the coal for electricity normally used.

The benefits are amplified by joining others in a green-oriented neighborhood, such as Hubbell's conservation communities. Through enviromentally-oriented community planning, Hubbell green neighborhoods offer 10 times more open space for more natural beauty. Pavement is kept to a minimum to reduce heat. Native plants and trees are retained as much as possible. Contoured landscaping controls water runoff and erosion. And living among like-minded conservationists forms a happy, close-knit community.
