We wanted to build an energy efficient house that was filled with natural light and openness. After much research, we decided to build a home with a Geothermal heating and cooling system. We were fortunate to find Rick King http://kingenergyassociates-ct.com/home, who had already built several hundred geothermal homes and was as expert in the field. Our builder, Don Brancard http://www.classiccolonials.com/contact.html, worked with Rick to craft a bright, beautiful, energy efficient home with lots of special touches. With incentives from Connecticut’s Energy Crafted Home Program, our home was certified for energy efficiency.
