Geothermal Utilities LLC Understands The Bottom Line For Business
Rising energy costs are forcing businesses to seek alternatives to conventional heating and cooling systems. Geothermal Utilities offers geothermal technology as THE viable, affordable solution.
The technology works, and the bottom line results tell the story.
Geothermal technology uses the earth's stored energy underground for heating, cooling and hot water systems, resulting in as much as 70% in energy cost savings. The technology has been recognized by the EPA as an environmentally friendly energy source.
Geothermal Utilities LLC — a Tennessee-based company — is THE one-stop source for the design, installation and financing of geothermal systems for businesses.
Based on cost estimates, a prospective Geothermal Utilities customer can finance a geothermal system and its installation over a period of time up to 10 years through the company. With the immediate energy cost savings generated by a geothermal system, customers can expect to see a quick return on their investment.
Unlike conventional HVAC systems, a geothermal system has no visible outside equipment, such as whirring units that generate noise and take up space, or that have to endure the outdoor weather conditions or elements.
Geothermal systems are also not prone to break down after frequent use. The systems have fewer moving parts that require maintenance than conventional systems. The heat exchanger in a geothermal system that transfers heat to and from the earth is made of engineering plastics and can operate efficiently for up to 50 years after installation.

Commercial Building Case Study
The medical office building was an existing facility located on Charlotte Avenue in Davidson County. The heating and cooling system was retrofitted to geothermal water source heat pumps from an existing conventional heating and cooling system.
Michael D. Shmerling, a Nashville businessman and commercial building owner, said he saved more than $19,000 in energy costs for his 38,000 square-foot building in 2004, and expects the savings to climb to more than $20,000 in 2005 as fuel costs increase. The savings were determined based on what it cost him to heat and cool similar commercial buildings he owns in the same vicinity.
