GEOTHERMAL
Geothermals Facts:
- According to the EPA, geothermal systems are the most energy efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost effective comfort systems available.
- Forty seven percent of the sun's energy that reaches our planet is absorbed by the earth. This represents 500 times more energy than mankind needs every year.
- According to the EPA, replacing an ordinary HVAC system with geothermal is the environmental equivalent of planting 750 trees.
- Widespread use of geothermal systems will reduce carbon emissions by over 1 million metric tons each year.
- The U.S. General Accounting Office estimates that if these systems were installed nationwide, energy costs would be reduced by several billion dollars each year.
- Surveys consistently show that more than 95% of all geothermal system owners would recommend it to a friend.
- WaterFurnace units can be used not only for heating and cooling, but also for heating water for domestic purposes or for radiant floor floor applications, pools and spas. In addition to residential installations, WaterFurnace systems have been installed in offices, schools, hotels, apartments, condominiums, hospitals and many other types of applications.

Facts about Geothermal's Environmental Impact:
If one in twelve California homes
installed a geothermal system,
the engery savings would be
equal to nine power plants.
Putting a geothermal system in
a typical home is equal, in
greenhouse gas reduction,
to planting an acre of trees.
Putting a geothermal system in
a typical home is equal, in
greenhouse gas reduction,
to taking two cars
off the road.
Current geothermal installations
equal 14 million barrels of
crude oil saved per year.
Testimonials
Dear Arronco, We are really pleased with the installation of our system. The installers really worked hard, and your Company should be proud of their work ethics and craftsmanship. I know our job was a challenge for them to say the least! We are looking forward to using our new system, both for the air conditioning and the heating. The few times I have turned on the heat, I have not been bothered by any smell of propane. If there is any odor, my 'asthma' sense of smell will detect it.

Dear Arronco,
This is a note of thanks to you and your Arronco team. We are quite pleased with all phases of the purchase, removal of the old equipment and the installation of the new equipment. We talked to four companies about replacing our Furnace, AC, Air Cleaner and Humidifier . You answered all our questions (which were many) and you covered every detail of what needed to be done.

Dear Arronco,
Thank you so much for installing my geothermal Water Furnace. You did a great job on installation, and your service men are courteous and clean up any mess they make. I really appreciate that.
And I have to tell you, I previously had propane heat. Since you installed my Water Furnace fall 2008, it is the first time I have actually been warm in this house. Not only is it saving me 50% or more of heating costs, but I can keep the temperature high enough to be comfortable. I'm very pleased with the purchase.
Thanks again,
Jenny H.
Dear Arronco,
I wanted to get back to you and share our experience with the system you all put in. I have six months of data now including cold weather and I can tell you the savings in energy use (electric kwh) for heating/cooling is running at 65%. This is corrected for degree days and days in billing cycle. I have also adjusted for kwh usage for lighting, appliances, etc- they account for about 700 kwh/mo and I subtract that before calculation so as to get the true effect on heating. You may recall I am an engineer, so I am confident in the data and my analysis.
Actually, I am sure the hot water heating supplement from the geothermal also reduces the non-heating portion of usage, so that is a bonus to the 65%. I use usage instead of the bill in $ because the cost of electricity is constantly changing with delivery costs, seasonal adjustments, fuel surharges etc.
Finally, the comfort level is greatly improved even at a lower temp setting. We are set at 70 and we feel no discomfort - if wanted to pinch a little, I am sure 68 would work. The heat is more uniform and we never have to adjust; I keep a standalone indoor/outdoor thermometer and it verifies the readings. We don't make any changes day or night- just keep it constant based on your advice... All in all, a good investment!
