Welcome to EarthSource Energy Solutions, Inc.


We manufacture the EarthSource Geo Direct
®
line of Direct Exchange geothermal heat pumps.  Our products heat and cool your home or business without burning gas, oil, or other fossil fuels. They also control humidity, and provide low-cost domestic hot water.  Geo Direct heat pumps save money for home and business owners, and add to the comfort level and the resale value of the building. In addition, they reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and our nation's dependence on fossil fuels.

We supply a range of geothermal heat pumps — from 24,000 BTU per hour capacity to 60,000 BTU per hour capacity.  We also supply the in-ground installation kits and peripherals needed to install them, matched heat exchangers for domestic hot water, and a plasma air quality system.  Click on "PRODUCTS"  at the left for a complete list.


Advantages of Geo Direct® geothermal heat pump systems: 


     The principal source of energy used is limitless!

  • The earth is a vast, inexhaustible  repository of solar energy for heating and cooling your home or office, and heating water for domestic use.
  • Because this energy is limitless, it is not subject to the volatility of markets, transportation systems, and international       conflict.  Its cost is therefore stable and predictable.
  • Geothermal heat pumps use electricity to extract the energy in the ground.  The cost of electricity is relatively stable, and it can be produced directly from the sun, or from wind.
  • The earth below the frost line remains at a constant temperature year-round, so the Geo Direct® heat pump is constantly operating in its peak-efficiency region.                                                                                                                                                          

     Very high efficiency                                                                                                                                                          

  • The system approaches 400% efficiency, because most of the solar energy used is stored underground.  You will save 30% to 70% on your heating, cooling, and domestic hot water costs. 

  • The initial cost of installing the Geo Direct® system is typically recovered in 3 to 5 years.

     The in-ground components for Geo Direct® systems fit into very small spaces

      •   For diagonal installations, a 10-foot diameter circle is all that's needed! 
      
     Geothermal energy is healthy

        •   No dangerous gases (like carbon monoxide) are produced.   
      •   No particulate pollution is produced in the building from burning fossil fuels.

     Geo Direct® energy is simple to use, and worry-free
               
      •  Set it twice a year and forget it.
  
      •  No need to set back a thermostat unless occupants will be absent for a week or more. 

        •  Features excellent humidity control.

      •  The system will require minimal maintenance, and have a very long useful life.

      •  Warranty is 10 years on the heat pump, and 55 years on the copper pipes underground. 

      •  There are no water pumps to run, repair, or replace.

      •  The copper loops in the ground will last indefinitely.

        •  There will be no noise to bother neighbors or residents.

      •  The heat pump requires very little space in the home.
 
Since Geo Direct® heating and cooling burns no fossil fules in the building, it is good for the environment.  That's why we think of it as "Comfort with a conscience."

 


The EarthSource Geo DirectTM geothermal heat pump system has been chosen to heat and cool the Southern Living Showcase Home on the Furman University campus.  Click on the News page for a description of the project, or click on this link for a virtual tour of the facility:  http://www.furmancliffscottage.com/virtual-tour.


The February 17, 2009 Stimulus Bill

The Stimulus Bill signed into law by the President on February 17th has many provisions that recognize the important contribution that the geothermal heat pump industry can make to the nation's economic recovery. 

♦     Geothermal heat pump systems for residential applications (new, retrofit, primary and non-primary residences) receive a 30% tax credit starting January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2016.  (The $2,000 limit for the 2008 tax credit has been removed for 2009 and later years.)
♦     
Federal facilities and military installations will receive billions for energy upgrades, and geothermal heat pumps will be an important component of those upgrades.
♦    
Each state will receive an average of $100 million to upgrade energy efficiency in the state, the uses for that money to be determined by each state, and geothermal rebates and loans are a good use of those funds.
♦     
Schools with receive billions for modernizing and improving energy efficiency, another very good fit for geothermal exchange systems. 
♦     All commercial and private buildings are eligible for a 10% grant in lieu of tax credit for the total cost of installing geothermal systems, the check to be written from the government to the building owner within 60 days of completion. 
♦     The 30% residential tax credit has the effect of making geothermal systems cash flow positive at today’s energy prices in virtually every market.

The Renewable Energy Information Channel

People tell us that they’re interested in what we’re learning about renewable energy systems, technologies and incentives.  Therefore, we created an e-mail-based newsletter called EarthSource Information Channel to keep interested people informed.  In the beginning, we will be sending out issues irregularly, as significant new developments emerge.
