Sidney Rosen / Carter Gibbs Historical Tudor in Phoenix, AZ

Sidney M. Rosen is living in his dream home. His Phoenix, AZ residence is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with the United States Department of the Interior. Designed in the late 1920′s by the owner Carter W. Gibbs, and the builder Neil H. Gates this, “Landmark” English Tudor, French Chalet inspired local treasure was completed in 1930.

Mr. Rosen considers himself a caretaker for the historical and environmental preservation of this Carter W. Gibbs inspired “English Tudor”

Mr. Rosen has invested tremendous time and energy maintaining, restoring, and preserving this piece of Arizona history, commissioning the assistance of some of the finest world class preservation and renovation professionals along the way.

One of the biggest challenges Mr. Rosen experienced in the late 1980′s was related to his many attempts to properly air condition and heat his home. Despite investing in top of the line energy efficient, air conditioning and heating systems, manufactured by industry leading companies and installed by top local professionals in the HVAC field, Mr. Rosen was never able to achieve his goal of maintaining a comfortable indoor environment in the extreme heat of a Phoenix summer.

Because Sid’s dream home was built well before the development of modern air conditioning technology, the walls and ceilings of his home were never insulated from the extreme desert southwest temperatures. Fortunately in the spring of 2009 after researching new hybrid energy efficient geothermal technology, Mr. Rosen discovered a solution.

Geoasis geothermal hybrid systems allowed Sid to finally achieve his goal of creating a comfortable indoor environment that he could use year round including the most extreme Phoenix summer months of June, July, and August.

After years of searching for a solution Mr. Rosen is finally free to host his numerous and important, charitable, civic, historical and social events year round.

After years of effort, Mr. Rosen has finally achieved his goals of comfort and energy independence. Geoasis is proud of this project, and feels privileged to be a part of Mr. Rosen’s goal of moving forward towards an ultimate goal of achieving energy independence for our great nation, through conservation and sustainable efforts.

The Carter W. Gibbs Historical Home in Phoenix, AZ
Geothermal applications differ for each home or business.  The first step is to have a consultant assess your home, your needs and offer the best solution for you.
This home used a process for utilizing a pool (a reservoir also can be used) to provide efficiency. This required horizontal drilling to preserve landscaping, decking, and patios. Infrared meters mark a drill path.
Horizontal drilling can be done close to the surface or much deeper if needed in order to avoid utility lines, plants and trees, etc.
These technicians are guiding water lines and cabling through the path made by the drill.
The application shown use the home's basement.  This can alternatively use a garage or be a package unit on the roof.
An added benefit, hot water generated by removing heat from the home, can be used in the home's domestic hot water system.
