Geothermal energy and geothermal probes

Geothermal power is one of the most promising alternative energy sources for a variety of reasons;

  • it is practically inexhaustible
  • provides almost non-existent pollution levels
  • has no environmental impact
  • is very economical

Geothermal energy is transferred to the earth's surface through convection movements deriving from magma and water circulating deep below the ground. For decades, this energy source has been a consolidated reality in countries such as the United States, Switzerland, France and Germany. In Italy, FitImpianti is now among the very first companies promoting its use.

Geothermal probes
Geothermal probes are used to heat and cool homes, shopping centers and industrial complexes. A geothermal probe allows for energy savings in excess of 50% compared to the the best gas boilers on the market - and it does this without emitting polluting substances into the atmosphere. The installation of a geothermal probe in a newly built home entails an initial investment similar to that required for installing a high technology methane gas system. Furthermore, a geothermal installation's lifecycle can last at least 50 years, whereas other more traditional systems do not exceed 20 years.


Solar Energy and Solar Panels
The sun is the cleanest and most abundant energy source existing on the earth's surface. The most widespread application used is a solar collector (commonly known as a solar panel), employed for the production of hot sanitary water. A one square meter panel can bring up to 300 litres of water a day to a temperature of 60°C. This depends on atmospheric conditions as well as on the type of collector. When suitably combined to a heat pump or low temperature energy system, a panel can significantly supplement a traditional heating system.

Solar installations are clean, eco-friendly, and operate silently, producing kilowatt hours without emitting polluting substances into the atmosphere. This in turn brings about a reduction in greenhouse gases and environmental pollution. And a good solar installation runs efficiently even during winter months.
