Why Use Geothermal?

The benefits of using a geothermal heat pump system in your home or business far outweigh the initial cost of installation. In fact, with just the savings in operating costs alone, a geothermal system could pay for itself in as little as 2-5 years. Add that to all the other advantages, and geothermal becomes a top nominee for the all-around best comfort system available on the market today.

Lower Operating Cost

A geothermal heat pump system operates more efficiently than ordinary heating and air conditioning systems because it delivers four to five times the amount of energy that it uses. By combining stored earth energy with safe electric power, geothermal systems can save you up to 70% for heating, cooling and hot water.

Enhanced Comfort
Geothermal heat pump systems eliminate hot spots and cold spots in your home by providing precise distribution of comfortable air all year long. During the heating cycle, you'll experience warm air without the hot blasts associated with ordinary gas furnaces, or the cooler air of an air source heat pump. Additionally, when cooling, geothermal units deliver cool, dehumidified air.

Quiet
Because geothermal units are designed to operate in an indoor environment, there is no noisy unit outdoors to disturb your outdoor environment or your neighbors. Geothermal heat pumps provide efficient heating and cooling with "whisper quiet" operation, similar to your refrigerator.

Reliable
Unlike conventional air conditioners and other heat pumps, geothermal heat pump units are installed indoors (like your refrigerator), so they are not exposed to weathering and damage caused by rain, snow, ice, debris, extreme temperatures or vandalism. Hence, geothermal units are characterized by their high reliability and low maintenance.

Flexible
Depending on your needs, a Geothermal system can provide three important benefits from a single compact unit - heating, central air conditioning, and domestic hot water. By combining three functions into one unit, you save space in your utility room as well as money on your utility bills.

Environmentally Friendly
Geothermal heat pump systems are the most environmentally friendly way to heat and cool your home according to the Department of Energy and the EPA. With no emissions of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or other greenhouse gasses, all considered to be major contributors to environmental air pollution, geothermal systems are one of the most environmentally friendly comfort systems that you can have in your home.

Homeowner Satisfaction: Geothermal systems are rated by independent consumer surveys to have the highest customer satisfaction level when compared to other types of heating and cooling systems.
