Introduction to Geothermal
Geothermal is something a lot of us of heard a little about but something that only a few people
know enough about to realize the incredible energy savings that your own geothermal system
can generate. Enter Baxter Oil Company.
Having been involved with Geothermal systems for over 15 years (we installed our first unit in
1994), we are the area leaders when it comes to these revolutionary, energy-saving (and
money-saving) systems.
Working with Baxter Oil Company, you'll not only see through the myths and misconceptions of
owning a geothermal system but you'll see how a geothermal system is environmentally
friendly, with far less dependency on irreplaceable fossil fuels; and how your own geothermal
system can save you up to $2,000 in energy EVERY YEAR or more! So, how does a
geothermal system work?

During the heating cycle, the fluid circulates through the loop extracting heat from the ground.
The heat energy is transferred to the geothermal unit. The unit compresses the extracted heat
to a high temperature and delivers it to your home through a normal duct system or radiant
heat system. It will also provide a percentage of the hot water requirements of your home at
greatly reduced costs.

Your own backyard has the potential to be an energy source for heating and cooling comfort.
Outdoor air temperatures fluctuate throughout the year with the changing seasons. In contrast,
ground temperatures about four to six feet below the Earth's surface remain relatively moderate
and constant all year. That's because the Earth absorbs 47% of all the heat energy that reaches
it's surface from the sun.
A geothermal system circulates a water-based solution through a buried loop system to take
advantage of these constant temperatures. A single piece of equipment has the ability to heat
and cool your home, while providing some or all of your home's hot water as well. Geothermal
systems can save you 30% to 70% on your monthly utility bills.

How Does Geothermal Work?
How Geothermal Heats
How Geothermal Cools
For cooling, the process is simply reversed. Because the earth is much cooler than the air
temperatures on a hot day, the geothermal system removes heat from the home and deposits
it into the ground, or the water heater to provide free hot water in the summer. The fluid is
cooled by the ground or water heater temperatures and returned to the unit for cooling your
home.
There are different types of geothermal systems available, and there are even add-on systems
(Hybrids aren't just for cars!) that require very little invasive labor to install on your property, and
can utilize your existing furnace and ducting.
