Why 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. Safe & Environmentally Friendly
Since a geothermal system is simply moving heat from the ground to your house in the winter (with the process reversed in the summer), there is no combustion required. This eliminates any chance of gas leaks, explosions, or carbon monoxide poisoning. According to the EPA, geothermal heat pumps are the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective space conditioning system available |
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. Reliable & Long Lasting
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. |
