SuperNova #1. \u201cHeat pumps work smarter by using available heat energy \u2013 either in the air on in the ground \u2013 rather than heating the air up directly like a traditional heating system would.\u201d

SuperNova #2. \u201cBy electrifying the heating load, we\u2019re utilizing the system better during the winter and at night time when there\u2019s not as much load. The more throughput through the system, the better it is for all customers.\u201d

SuperNova #3. \u201cNew construction is the absolute best time to consider a geothermal system.\u201d

Unique Tool or Tactic People Should Know But Don\u2019t: \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of thought out there about the upfront cost of a geothermal system, and something people should really be considering is new construction.\u201d
