LSB Industries Subsidiary Joins Forces with GE Money and Electric & Gas Industries Association on Eco-Friendly Heating & Cooling Systems

LSB Industries, Inc. (AMEX: LXU) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, ClimateMaster, Inc. has joined forces with the Electric & Gas Industries Association (EGIA) and GE Money to help consumers finance the purchase of a geothermal heating, cooling and water heating system for their homes. ClimateMaster is the leading producer of residential geothermal heat pumps which, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, are the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective space-conditioning system for most locations in the U.S. These systems harness the solar energy stored near the surface of the earth to provide year-round, low cost residential heating and cooling. Geothermal systems deliver considerable savings over conventional heating and cooling systems with the added benefit of hot water generation and a 25 year life expectancy. Geothermal systems can reduce homeowners’ utility bills up to 60 percent. ClimateMaster distributors and dealers nationally are now able to offer revolving and installment financing through the GEOSmart Loan program, sponsored by EGIA and funded through GE Money’s Sales Finance unit. Of the 6 to 7 million residential heating and cooling systems sold in North America in 2006, approximately 70 percent are replacement systems for single family homes. The home retrofit market is the primary target for the GEOSmart loan program, which will make geothermal systems more affordable for consumers retrofitting existing homes, and should make these homes more attractive to prospective buyers. According to Barry Golsen, President & COO of LSB Industries, "With buildings accounting for nearly 40 percent of all U.S. energy consumption, and heating, cooling, and water heating being the largest contributors, geothermal heat pumps are one of the best ways to trim energy bills and decrease fossil fuel usage, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and their harmful impact on the environment. Geothermal systems utilize a proven technology, with over a million systems installed since their introduction in the late 70s. According to the November 12, 2007 issue of Barron’s, "The green building market is expected to grow from $7.6 billion in 2005 to $39 billion in 2010.” Mr. Golsen noted, "The market opportunity for geothermal heat pumps is vast.” "ClimateMaster’s line of geothermal heating and cooling systems are an excellent choice for providing and utilizing sustainable, affordable energy,” said Bruce Matulich, executive director of the EGIA, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions. "We are pleased to be able to promote both ClimateMaster’s products and the GEOSmart program to distributors, contractors and our utility partners across the U.S. Due to significant consumer energy savings, the positive impact on utility peak load conditions and the substantial environmental benefits, a growing number of utility companies offer rebates and other financial incentives to encourage consumer installation of geothermal systems. The GEOSmart loan program is being integrated into leading utility and state-sponsored energy efficiency programs, providing homeowners with a comprehensive financing solution that makes it easy for consumers to invest in energy efficient home improvements,” says Matulich.
