The Benefits of Geothermal

Significant Cost Savings A geothermal system can cut your annual heating and cooling bill by as much as 65% since they deliver over four units of energy for every one unit of electrical energy used. With today's conventional heating costs, most homeowners see a payback in less than 5 years and with the federal government providing a 30% tax credit plus other state incentives the payback is even sooner. Imagine an investment that breaks even in as little as 3 years and continues to pay you back for another 20 years or more. Where else can you find a better investment? That's the outstanding benefit of a geothermal system. Another option is to finance the geothermal system with a home equity loan and begin saving money immediately. How can that be? Simple. The monthly payment on the loan is less than the monthly savings on the heating and cooling bill. Begin saving from day one and enjoy even greater savings once the loan is paid. That's savings. That's geothermal. Unmatched Comfort There is no comfort trade-off with geothermal. In fact, they are even more comfortable than conventional systems due to the steady, even heating and cooling they provide. This is due to the higher volume of air with a geothermal system which saturates your home eliminating hot and cold spots. Add state-of-the-art controls which allow different temperatures for different areas of your home, and you have the most comfortable system available today. Geothermal systems are also flexible enough to be used with forced air systems utilizing ductwork or with in-floor hydronic heating systems - or both. Plus, a geothermal system is designed to provide air conditioning in the summer by simply operating in reverse. A geothermal system designed to provide heat in cold climates doesn't break a sweat to cool in summer. That's comfort. That's geothermal.				Excellent Reliability Geothermal systems are sheltered from the weather since all system components are installed underground or inside the home. Combine this with few moving parts and no combustion and it's easy to see why geothermal systems enjoy a significant reliability advantage over conventional systems outlasting them by up to eight years. Environmentally Friendly According to the EPA, geothermal heat pumps are the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective space conditioning system available. Why, because a well-designed geothermal system will reach over 400% efficiency. In other words, provide four times more energy than is required to run it. There's no combustion and no fossil fuels consumed - just a transfer of heat by circulating water. That's green. That's geothermal.
