Along with the fun of the winter snowfall and exciting holidays, many of us are worried about the soaring heating bills. To find a permanent remedy to this, just watch out, what Russ Root has come up with his innovations! He made an efficient move last year – to a new home he had built in Goshen, Conn. There is nothing new in possessing a new house, but will it not deserve a headline if it will cost far less to cool and to heat? Dreaming about it for the last 15 years, he finally installed a geothermal system instead of an oil-guzzling boiler.
All the heat to warm his house is now supplied by the earth beneath him. It’s pumped up, through plastic piping, in water circulating in his backyard six feet underground. It is where the temperature stays at about 45 degrees and the water is distributed by a fan through the house’s ductwork as air warmed to around 95 degrees. Isn’t the concept cool!
