Geothermal Energy, energy consumption that will not consume the earth !
Although geothermal energy is very hot at the moment as a means to heat dwellings and swimming pools, it has been in use for over thirty years in modern day and age. It is remarkably efficient and radically reduces energy costs, as well as incredibly environmentally friendly.
Traditional heating systems harm the environment and with fossil fules becoming more scarse, our electricity bills are doomed to be on the increase. This is why many people consider switching to renewable energy. From 2008 it will be mandatory in Spain to implement at least 30% of renewable energy usage in every new building. The earth absorbes an incredible amount of energy from the sun in the form of heat, enough to maintain a stable temperature of around 20 degrees centigrade, all year round.
Geothermal techniques allow us to extract this heat and convert it to energy for heating and cooling systems for our homes and swimming pools. Bore holes are drilled in which flexible tubes are inserted. These then transport the earths heat to a geothermal pump. This energy source caters for the total climitisation of homes, offices and swimming pools.
It allows you to enjoy your pool from September through to May, a period in which the water is often too cold to swim in. So you will have a comfortable water temperature during Christmas and Easter. A thermal blanket to cover the pool is recommmended.
Conclusion:
Enough reason to choose Geothermal Energy. It seems a logical step to go for it !
The perfect fusion between cost efficiency and being environmentally friendly.
