North Texas Renewable Energy Group: Geothermal Air Conditioning & Heating - Dallas

Vickery Park Branch Library
8333 Park Lane
Dallas , TX

Presenter: Roy Schar, President, Excel Geothermal

About Our Presentation:

Among the most common "non-solar" questions we hear from NTREG members and the public alike relates to ground source air conditioning systems. 

Geothermal air conditioning and heating is one of the most efficient means of cooling and heating. Advancements in this technology have made it very appealing to residential and commercial customers.

Attendees to our July 9 meeting will have an opportunity to learn and ask about this technology. There will also be equipment at the meeting for show-and-tell!
