Geothermal Technology

Free Source Energies, LLC promises to provide 100% customer satisfaction with its geothermal solution. As specialists in geothermal technology, Free Source Energies, LLC offers a product which solves three typical problems related to other heating and cooling systems:

1: Operational Costs -- With energy prices continuing to rise, the operating costs of other systems (specifically traditional fuel-based heating and cooling systems) are directly correlated to the cost of energy which they use. More fuel used = higher cost of operation.

2: Equipment Footprint -- As residential and commercial spaces grow in size, so must the HVAC equipment grow in size. Our equipment has a very small footprint and does not need to be highly separated from living/working spaces due to its quiet operation.

3: Energy Efficiency -- Our equipment is the most efficient product available. It is possible for the unit to be over 400% efficient (for each unit of input energy, four units of energy are output). Typical consumers have reported a 40-60% reduction in their energy bills.

Customer Testimonials

"I have been very pleased with my heat pump. I have about 4,100 sq. ft. total, and I keep the house at 72 during the day and have noticed no cold spots. I figure that with my electricity cost and with the systems' performance, it is only costing me about $28/month to heat my home.

The installation was done very well by qualified people and looks very nice. The performance has been exactly as I was told it would be. It's clean, quiet and very environmentally friendly. I am very pleased and have been recommending the system to whomever I talk to. I can't say enough 'good' about it. I would highly recommend this system to anyone."

We have started working collaboratively with the State of Minnesota's Health and Well Management division to do Vertical installations here in Minnesota. Currently no laws are written for how our Direct Expansion (DX) system should be installed, and we want to ensure that everyone receives quality installations.

Through the use of variances and permits, the State of Minnesota will be able to monitor our systems installations and observe the efficiency in which they are being installed. They will also be able to observe the stringent guidelines we have put into place to ensure safety for the environment.

REDWOOD FALLS, Minn., September 24, 2008 - A growing company, Free Source Energies has a tall order to fill and needed the right tools to streamline business processes and make the most of the company’s efforts.
