Kane County Geothermal Power Hour

Did you know your own backyard has the potential to be an energy source? Join the online Geothermal Power Hour to learn how switching to geothermal energy can help you save money.

On Wednesday, August 14th, at 6:30 PM, Grow Geo will collaborate with Kane County to provide a free presentation about the basics of geothermal heat pumps, their financial benefits, and available incentives. If you decide geothermal energy is the best choice for you, guidance will be provided on the next steps.

Offered by the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA), the Citizens Utility Board (CUB), and the Geothermal Alliance of Illinois (GAOI), property owners throughout the Chicagoland area are eligible to participate in a program to pool their buying power and secure significant discounts that make installing geothermal systems more affordable.

Geothermal Energy 101: Geothermal heat pumps transfer heat through a loop system from the ground or water during the winter months into your home, while in the summer, they act as heat sinks by absorbing warmer temperatures above ground. This allows you to save money and energy all year long by taking advantage of the consistent ground temperatures. Geothermal energy is a clean, renewable source with zero direct emissions, as it does not rely on combustion to move heat from one place to another.
