Naturally Heating and Cooling from the Earth
Installing geothermal in your home or business
The weather in Connecticut (CT) is typical of the New England climate: Don’t like the forecast for today? Well, check out the prediction for tomorrow! The average temperature in the winter can be a blustery 28 degrees, but then skyrocket up into the 90s in July! But hidden below the surface of the Earth is a valuable source of renewable energy that allows your home to maintain an average temperature of whatever you want it to be! Because the Earth absorbs the warming rays of sunshine all year long, the temperature below ground stays consistent. The ability to tap into this source of consistent temperature is the basis for geothermal heat and cooling technology.
At Ralph Mann & Sons, Inc., we've stayed on top of the ever-growing geothermal solution, which has allowed our team the knowledge to best install and service this revolutionary heating and cooling system. We are proud to offer this modern heating and cooling solution to property owners throughout to customers in Ansonia, Orange, Woodbridge, Fairfield, Weston, Westport, Newtown, CT, and the surrounding communities of Connecticut.

How Geothermal Heat Works
During those cold winter months, a geothermal system takes the heat from the Earth and distributes this heat to your home through a warm-air ductwork system. There are also applications available that distribute the heat through a radiant floor heating system. Hot water for all your household needs can also be produced through a geothermal system.
How Geothermal Cooling Works
For those hot and humid summer months, a geothermal system reverses the process, sending the heat back to the Earth and returning cool, dry air to your home. The heat that is taken from your home can also be used to produce your home’s hot water supply.
