Thinking About Going Geothermal? Join us on Monday, May 23 at 12 PM for a virtual GeoThermal Power Hour to learn about the basics of geothermal and how it can save you money. The Power Hour is part of a public education and bulk purchasing program that makes going geothermal easier and more affordable for Champaign, Piatt, and Vermilion County home and business owners. Geothermal or ground source heat pumps tap the stored energy of the Earth below our feet and are an important technology for decarbonizing our buildings. The program is made possible through a strong partnership between the City of Urbana, Geothermal Alliance of Illinois, and Midwest Renewable Energy Association.
