Geothermal / Solar

White Oak Development believes its time for homeowners to become energy independent from the oil and gas companies. Our homes use solar electric to power a geothermal heating & cooling system installed in your new home. We estimate it will cost you an average of $68 per month to heat or cool one of our 1,700 Sq. Ft. homes. Larger homes may cost more.  The solar systems installed in your new home will use a reversible electrical meter. During sunny summer days you will likley generate more electricity than you can use and you will be selling the excess electricity back to the utility company. In the evening and on cloudy days, you will be using more electricity than you are generating and you will be purchasing electricity. You will only pay for the net difference between what you generated and what you used each month.

Geothermal heating & cooling systems use the 56 degree temperature of the earth to heat or cool your home using 50% to 75% less energy than conventional systems. While conventional furnaces and boilers burn fuel to generate heat, geothermal heat systems use electricity to simply move heat from the earth into your home during the winter, and transferring it out of your home and back into the ground during the summer. The most efficient fuel-burning heater can reach efficiencies around 95%, but a geothermal heating system can move up to 4 units of heat for every unit of electricity needed to power the system, resulting in a practical equivalence of over 400% efficiency.
