7 good reasons to consider geothermal
Efficient
Geothermal heat pumps are three to four times more efficient than ordinary forced air systems, with about 70% of the energy used by a geothermal system coming from the ground.
Reliable
Geothermal units can operate for years with little maintenance. Since geothermal units are located indoors, they are protected from extreme weather conditions and can last over 20 years. Comfortable Geothermal heat pumps deliver even temperatures throughout the year, with no extreme hot or cold spots. This makes geothermal an ideal choice for radiant floor heating.
Economical
Operating costs are significantly lower. When choosing geothermal heat pumps to heat and cool your home, you can expect to reduce your cost by 25% to 60% or more. Renewable Geothermal energy is renewable – once water is used, it can be pumped back into the ground. It’s cleaner than fossil fuels too, generating less greenhouse gas emissions.
Flexible
Geothermal systems can provide heating, cooling and supplemental water heating from a single unit. And geothermal units can be integrated with existing systems or installed in new home construction.
