fan Wilson partner in Groundwater Energy Systems checks the progress of new well being drilled outside the companys Ferndale Drive office The well is the first step for groundwater heating system which is being in stalled to service the office and advertise the system now available in Sim coe County Examiner Photo Potential energy source could be in backyards By RICHARD THOMAS if The Examiner Homeowners whose water supply is serviced by well in the backyard have poteiitiai source of energy which could lower heating costs in the long run and end the dependency on fuels say two ground water resource specialists Groundwater remains at constant temperature year round and some of its heat can be extracted and used for heating homes say an Wilson and Dan Brown founders of Groundwater Energy Systems in Barrie The concept says Wilson has been used in the Southern United States for more than it years and was first ex perimented with about 35 years ago groundwater heating System powered by electricity is connected to the existing domestic water supply which already pumps water from the well The water is passed through coil of pipes which in turn con tain an inner coil filled with the gas Freon which readily ab sorbs heat says Wilson FREON GAS Initially in liquid state the Freon becomes gaseous as soon as it extracts the heat from the water and is then compressed to further increase its temperature From the compressor the hot gas goes to heat exchanger which is much like conycn tional radiator where the heat given off is blown through the house by an air flow Wilson says This action removes heat from the gas and cools it down bation by Mr iustice in Barrie the park about in writing bad cheque SCIIIIllilI leader and refreshments town country Orillian gets jail term

Georgian onow may Wm years on credit and collections and i5 wwrivmfl fost of the seminar is $30 which includes material lunch to its liquid state allowing it to circulate back to the ground water source and start the pro cess again he says thermostat control will stop the water being pumped from the well when no more heat is needed Wilson says and in the summer the process can be reversed when the Freon takes heat from the air and transitrs it to the water returning to the well BE llY SYSIEH The beauty of the system is once you have installed it you never use any other energy source but electricity says Brown The source of the energy water is never used up and is not altered chemically he says it is the latest thing in renewable energy and you are going to hear lot about it in the future Wilson says cost and design have been factors limiting the use of the systems to warmer climates with higher ground water tcmpcraturcs but because of the increasing cost of fuels units are being built to cope with northern temperatures Groundwater Energy Systems located on Fcrndaic Drive carry two types of heating systems the Aquamatic and Solargy says Wilson The Aqiiamatic does not have the reverse air conditioning feature but can be attached to the blower system of an ex isting oil or gas furnace he says The unit sells for about $25oti but the savings come it operating costs
