Rieger Homes Goes Geothermal!

The EarthRieger Homes is proud to announce the start of construction of a Geothermal home located in Stratford Farms, Poughkeepsie, New York.  Teaming with Oil Free Energy Solutions, LLC, Rieger Homes is installing a geothermal system to heat and cool the home without the use of traditional fuel oil or natural gas.  Geothermal technology not only benefits our environment, it substantially reduces monthly energy bills and has substantial available tax credits.

How does it work?  As described by Oil Free Energy Solutions, “Geothermal Systems take advantage of the heat energy stored in the Earth’s crust to heat and cool your home.  In our area the ground is a constant 54°.  A geothermal heat pump simply moves this energy from one place to another.  In the summer it uses the ground temperature to help cool your home.  In the winter it uses the ground temperature to help heat your home.  Since you are always starting at 54°, it takes much less energy to heat or cool your home.  Typically about 70% less energy than a traditional heating and cooling system.”

Rieger Homes continually strives to include cutting edge energy saving technologies in our homes without sacrificing comfort, style or beauty.  Contact us today about building the home of your dreams using the latest environmentally friendly and energy efficient technologies.
