Press Release Summary = West Palm Beach - Thursday, April 12, 2007, Champion Geothermal Supply along with WaterFurnace International of Fort Wayne, IN, will be showcasing the first Geothermal heating and air-conditioning system installed in southeast Florida, featuring vertical Earth loops. Earth loops transfer heat energy to from the ground, eliminating the need for fossil fuels. It's the heart of a Geothermal system, and it's the biggest advantage over ordinary heating and cooling technologies. A Geothermal system operates more efficiently than ordinary heating and air conditioning systems because they can deliver an astounding four units of energy for every one unit of electrical energy used. Recent system installations similar to this have proven to reduce residential energy bills by up to 60%. R.S.V.P. by calling 561-602-8576
Press Release Body = Local community officials, homebuilders, engineers and architects have been invited to view six each 300 foot vertical Earth loops that have been installed at a Palm Beach Gardens home and connected to a high efficiency Envision TM water source heat pump. The Envision TM Series heating and air-conditioning system has received the highest efficiency rating ever issued, 30 EER and 5 COP. The system removes heat from the home and transfers it to the earth, in the winter, the process is reversed and it takes the heat from the earth and transfers it to the home. Other appliances like hot water heaters and pool heaters can be utilized in the system for additional savings from the free energy.
The purpose of this event is to feature Geothermal benefits to our community by using these types of environmentally friendly and cost efficient systems. Representatives will be onsite to discuss how systems are installed and can be utilized in our community to conserve energy and protect our environment.
