Using The Ground to Cut Your Utility Bill

As fossil fuels get more expensive, society in general is starting to get serious about finding new power sources. Geothermal heating is a simple answer for homes. Geothermal heating is a fairly old concept that has gained a new life through advances in modern technology and materials. The concept is best explained using a basic example. In many parts of the world, homes come with basements. If you've lived in such a home, you've probably failed to notice an interesting fact. Everyone knows that a basement will remain relatively cool during a summer, no matter how hot it gets outside. Fewer people, however, realize a basement will maintain fairly warm temperatures in the winter regardless of how cold it is outside the home. This odd result has to do with how Mother Earth regulates herself. Ostensibly, geothermal power takes advantage of the inherently stable temperature of the ground. Regardless of temperature fluctuations on the surface of the ground, soil below five feet remains at a fairly constant temperature range of 50 to 55 degrees. During the winter, this temperature can be used to create geothermal heating for a home or building.

Our solar pool covers are a quick and easy answer. These world-class South African made swimming pool covers are something of a marvel. Solar pool covers work just as well on the tiniest outdoor spa as they do on a movie-star monster pool, or a commercial/municipal installation. Putting aside the technicalities, our solar pool covers keep the water in your pool around six degrees warmer. Our swimming pool covers also help retain the warmth in heated pools and keep out most tree debris and other flying rubbish.
