Gloucester native, Vincenzo Di Maio has co-founded geothermal heating and cooling company that eliminates home heating oil and noisy outdoor condensers.
Since the company’s founding in August 2010, EnergySmart Alternatives, LLC has been picking up steam (sorry for the pun!). In addition to being green, geothermal systems pay for themselves by saving over 50% on home heating costs each year. Savings are expected to be even greater as fuel oil prices pass the $4.00 per gallon mark. Learn more about the technology , EnergySmart Alternatives
