Vermont Castings Gas Stoves
Add Vermont Castings beauty and quality to your home
Here
are three gorgeous designs to fit any decor in your home. All built
with cast-iron strength, and all built to perform the way every Vermont
Castings Stove performs perfectly.
Vermont Castings Quality
The
impeccably smooth finish of each Vermont Castings Gas Stove is a credit
to the sophisticated manufacturing process unique to Vermont Castings.
As the only manufacturer in North America with both the foundry and
enameling under one roof, we can assure that the casting and enameling
are of the utmost quality.
Here are just a few of the items you won't find on competitive models:
* Leg levelers on the Radiance, Stardance and Intrepid DV, so the stove won't wobble on an uneven hearth;
* Optional warming shelves with metal mitten drying racks;
* Matching porcelain enamel pipe for natural vent applications and
matching paint for the vent pipe shipped with direct vent models.
Perfect
for smaller spaces - only 22" rear clearance; with simple rear
direct-venting through-wall, or install on fireplace hearth venting
into fireplace chimney.

Geothermal Products
G.H.P.'S are heating and cooling systems that use energy in the earth to heat with in the winter, and cool with in the summer. Because G.H.P.'s do not burn any fuel, they transfer stored energy from the ground to the house through earth loops filled with a water-antifreeze mix. Besides the obvious environmental and safety benefits of G.H.P.'s, annual heating and cooling costs can be dramatically reduced from traditional fossil fuel systems, with annual energy costs of up to 3.8 times cheaper. G.H.P.s are quiet, efficient, dependable, and when properly installed, can heat a home to zero degree outdoor temperature without even bringing in the electric resistance backup coils, because there is enough heat in 54 degree ground temperature to keep a house toasty warm. In the summer, the heat from your home is dumped into the same ground. You can see the tremendous advantage of using this stored, constant energy in the earth!!
Geo-thermal heat pumps (let's call them GHP'S) are heating and cooling units that use stored solar energy in the earth to heat with in winter and cool with in summer. GHP'S don't burn any fuel, in the winter they merely transfer stored solar energy from the ground to the home for heating, and from the home to the ground in summer for cooling through earth loops. Besides the obvious safety and environmental benefits of GHP'S, your annual heating and cooling costs can be drastically reduced from conventional fossil fuel systems (gas, oil , propane or wood) with fuel cost reductions in both heating and cooling of up to 3.8 times cheaper. In other words, assuming a GHP has a C.O.P. (a standardized efficiency rating) of 3.8, and $1.00 could purchase 10,000 btu's from an electric furnace, the same $1.00 could purchase 38,000 btu's from a GHP.
This is accomplished through a refrigeration cycle that uses electricity, and without getting too technical, refrigeration is merely a process of transferring heat from one area to another. Your refrigerator is cold on the inside and warm in the back because heat is removed from the food area and transferred to the rear grills, not because cold air is being injected into it. In winter, a GHP cycles a water-glycol mix through earth loops in the ground, and heat is transferred out of the earth, condensed, and delivered to your home through a conventional air duct system.
In summer, the GHP removes the heat from your home through the same air duct system, condenses some to heat your hot water, and dumps the rest of the heat through the same earth loops to the ground outside. If you have ever stood outdoors in summer near a conventional air conditioning condenser and felt the heat coming off it, that is the heat from the house being conducted or dumped outside. That heat is being blown away by outdoor air that might be 95 degrees or more; imagine how much more efficient it is to dump that heat into 52 degree ground! That may help you understand the efficiency of a GHP.
Again, because the heated or cooled air is delivered to your home through a conventional air duct system, many different comfort or environmental air quality issues can be addressed. Zoning options may be done so that the temperature of different levels or zones can be individually controlled . Programmable thermostats are said by the EPA to save 10% annually in energy costs. In addition, many different types of indoor air quality options may be added. These include electronic or high efficiency air filters, humidifiers, ultraviolet air purifiers or air to air exchangers, all becoming increasingly important in today's airtight homes.
GHP'S are quiet, extremely efficient, very dependable, and can save a typical homeowner well over $1000. a year in annual heating and cooling costs. They can be retrofitted to conventional heating systems, but generally applied in a new home. The horizontal earth loops are typically done during the excavation process, but vertical drilling can be done for those with small lots or where long ditches are not desirable.
