Burton, situated along the pristine shores of Lake Burton in northeast Georgia, features over eighty residences, shops, restaurants, and a world-class spa – all heated and cooled with Enertech Global's HVAC equipment.
"Preserving the tranquility of the area was critical in our planning," said Bill Lynch, Master Developer. "Geothermal maintains a peaceful environment by eliminating the noise associated with outdoor equipment. This, in addition to lower energy costs, made geothermal the logical choice. The Enertech team took part in our decision from the very beginning," Lynch added.
The community is designed to harmonize with the beauty and vitality of its natural surroundings. "Nestled within a lake and mountain landscape, Burton is a unique destination, which makes geothermal a natural fit," said Lew Oliver, Co-Developer and Town Planner.
Tim Wright, Enertech's Chief Operating Officer, commented, "We are honored that the Burton team chose Enertech as a partner even before land clearing began. This development embodies our mission of revolutionizing the way homes and communities are heated and cooled."
