"We have found that homeowners who currently use geothermal heat pumps are very enthusiastic about sharing their success stories," said GeothermalGenius CEO Joshua Kresge. "We want to reward residential geothermal users who help spread the word about this green technology."

Solar panels and wind turbines are massive structures that can be seen miles away, but because geothermal heat pumps are installed underground it is difficult to show just how practical they are as a renewable energy resource.

"As a geothermal installer, I am very excited about what they [Geothermal Genius] are doing," said Martin Gorman, owner of Sinton Air. "The industry really needs this boost to get people on board with geothermal heat pumps. They need to be just as widely accepted as solar panels and wind turbines."

In conjunction with GeothermalGenius's commitment to a greener America, the "Free Heat Beneath Your Feet" Sweepstakes provides current geothermal heat pump users the motivation to share their experiences with ground source heat pumps.
