We are paying more for electricity than ever, and the price will continue to rise as international carbon trading kicks in. Lower energy light globes and switching off power hungry appliances helps but generally the big cost in our homes is heating and cooling. A new publication titled Geothermal Heat Pumps: Installation Guide shows how we can reduce our electricity bills by anything up to 60%. Apart from being cost effective, geothermal heat pumps deliver gentle heat to your home without producing any soot at your home or any other toxic exhaust. Systems can be retro-fitted or integrated into new buildings. The Geothermal Heat Pumps: Installation Guide provides in-depth detail on installation, so you can understand how to make this free energy work for you. With the rebates and grants available to buffer the capital cost, it is a great time to save money on heating and cooling costs, while doing your bit for the environment.
The guide contains the information you need, when you need it. Put together in an easy-to-understand visual format.
