Everyone’s talking about going green these days, but Tom Baker is doing something about it.
Baker is the owner of Impressive Concrete, a company that fashions everything from swimming pools to complete homes and commercial buildings out of the latest high technology concrete materials.
His headquarters in Socastee is a statement of what his company is all about. It includes many of the new advances in saving energy that he also is marketing and installing on the Grand Strand.
One of the more impressive aspects of the installation is that he uses a combination of geo-thermal energy from underground heat, solar heating units and solar electrical panels to cut in half his energy use from the utility company. On top of that — literally — is a wind generator.
Anyone who wants to learn about how one can “go green” through the use of everything from geothermal to solar and wind energy generation can find it there and have it installed.
Baker estimates that a geothermal installation, for instance, will pay for itself in about six years. After that, the energy produced costs absolutely nothing.
