What is Geothermal technology? It is one of the most efficient methods for heating and cooling a home.  By utilizing a heat pump, a geothermal system cools during the summer and heats during the winter.  It can also satisfy a portion of domestic hot water needs.

Geothermal units are connected to an underground loop system, which takes advantage of the consistent, 50-55 degree ground temperature.  This makes it easier to absorb and reject heat than air-to-air heating and cooling systems.

This system only requires one component, a single indoor cabinet that isn't much larger than a traditional furnace.

Geothermal technology isn't a new concept, but is gaining popularity as energy prices continue to rise.  Stark's Inc. has installed Geothermal systems in Northwest Ohio for over 20 years. 

Why choose Geothermal?  On average, geothermal units save 25-50% in energy costs annually.  Rather than depending on a fossil fuel to heat and cool, the only portion of the system that uses traditional energy is the indoor cabinet.

Which types of Geothermal do you install?  Stark's offers closed loop horizontal and vertical systems.  For those with more space, closed vertical loops are used.  In tighter spaces, closed horizontal loops are used and can even be horizontally bored.  Learn more about the residential products we offer by clicking here.

Stark's Inc. does not install open loop or "pump and dump" systems.  We use quality HDPE (high density polyethylene) piping with a life expectancy far past 50 years.

What if I have a lake or pond?  Stark's also offers closed loops for pond and lake applications.  The body of water must be at least 8' deep with enough mass to exchange heat efficiently.  Deeper water is preferred.  Systems are available for existing ponds and lakes, as well as bodies of water that are being proposed.

If you need a heating and cooling system for your home, contact us today to find out if Geothermal may be right for you.
