Today’s geothermal heating and cooling industry offers several excellent manufactures and product lines to choose from, but High Tech Homes, and its sister-company Air Brokers HVAC have been involved in the geothermal industry for several years, and our top choice for geothermal systems is ClimateMaster.

Our research, hands-on experience, and interaction with the ClimateMaster team - from working with distributors and installers, all the way to the top of the corporate level – assures us they're the leader of the water-source geothermal industry.
From initial contact with their well-skilled installing contractors to service support, their attention and devotion to customer satisfaction is unparalleled – which is why HTH chose the ClimateMaster Tranquility 27 system to meet the heating and cooling needs of our SIP model project in Kimberling City, MO. We’ll be tracking the efficiency of the Tranquility 27 in the same manner as we tracked energy usage in the ICF model also located in Kimberling City – by installing sub-meters in the home to record actual kilowatt hours used in its operation, and anticipate the savings to be extraordinary.
We’re so confident the ClimateMaster system will meet and exceed our expectations in the SIP model that HTH plans to install ClimateMaster systems in each of the new “workforce housing” homes -a project that’s scheduled to get underway in the Branson, MO area in 2008.
For more information on ClimateMaster’s incredible selection of geothermal heating and cooling systems please visit their web site at www.climatemaster.com, and be sure to check back with HTH in the months to come to see the results of the efficiency report on the SIPS model. We’ll be posting it on our site as soon as it becomes available, along with photos of the system installation. |

The earth absorbs almost 50% of all solar energy and remains a nearly constant temperature of 50°F to 70°F depending on geographic location. Working with an underground loop system, a ClimateMaster geothermal unit utilizes this constant temperature to exchange energy between your home and the earth as needed for heating and cooling.
|
In winter, water circulating inside a sealed loop absorbs heat from the earth and carries it to the unit. Here it is compressed to a higher temperature and sent as warm air to your indoor system for distribution throughout your home.
In the summer, the system reverses and expels heat from your home to the cooler earth via the loop system. This heat exchange process is not only natural, but is a truly ingenious and highly efficient way to create a comfortable climate in your home. |
