In most of the Northern United States, the majority of homes built are built on top of basements. While the basement has become synonomous with creative living spaces and playrooms and man caves, the original intent of the basement was not for entertainment, but rather functionality. The basement created a layer of protection from the harsh winters and the resulting frozen ground. Now tapping into the same technology Geothermal Systems employ the same dynamics of using the earth core temperature to offset energy costs. The power of the earth is a greater force than many less natural sources of energy. Channeled properly a well designed geothermal system can save thousands of dollars on energy costs. It also is environmentally friendly. Costly to start up, the benefits long term may outweight the inital costs. As more users and suppliers demand these systems the cost should continue to decrease over the next few years.
