Geothermal System Benefits
Lower Operating Cost
A geothermal system operates more efficiently than ordinary heating and air conditioning systems. By combining energy from the earth with safe electric power, many homeowners realize savings up to 70% for heating, cooling and hot water.
Lower Life Cycle Cost
Homeowners find that any added investment over the cost of an ordinary system is generally recovered in energy savings within a few years. And with a long system life and less maintenance, overall life cycle costs are lower with geothermal.
Enhanced Comfort
During heating, you’ll experience warm air without the hot blasts associated with ordinary gas furnaces. When cooling, a geothermal unit delivers cool, dehumidified air. For ultimate comfort, a zoning system can be added, using multiple thermostats to precisely control temperatures in various zones.
Safe
Because natural gas, propane or oil are not required to operate a geothermal unit, there’s no combustion, flames or fumes and no chance of carbon-monoxide poisoning.
Clean
With the all-electric geothermal system, there are no fumes produced during operation. By adding high efficiency air cleaners, you can achieve high levels of indoor air quality.
Quiet
Unlike ordinary air conditioners or heat pumps, there is no noisy outdoor unit. Geothermal units are designed and constructed for whisper quiet operation, similar to your refrigerator.
Reliable
Unlike air conditioners and heat pumps, geothermal units are installed indoors, so they are not subject to wear and tear caused by rain, snow, ice, debris, extreme temperatures or vandalism.
Environmentally Friendly
According to the Department of Energy and the EPA, geothermal systems are the most environmentally friendly way to heat and cool your home. The system emits no carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or other greenhouse gasses which are considered to be major contributors to environmental air pollution.
Flexible
Geothermal systems are installed in homes from northern Canada and Alaska to Florida and Texas. One compact unit provides all heating, central air conditioning and hot water.
