GEO-THERMAL HEAT PUMPS

​

Geothermal is an energy-efficient, cost effective space conditioning system that taps into the earth to capture its renewable energy. The earth absorbs the sun’s energy that reaches it, storing that energy in the ground. A geothermal system extracts that energy for heating during winter. For  cooling, the system removes heat from the home and dumps it into the cooler earth. This transfer of heat energy  is done through a series of pipes buried in the ground, or sunk in a pond, or by using well water. Not only is a geothermal system highly energy-efficient, it requires no outdoor unit and is quiet, reliable and durable.

TOP 10 REASONS TO CONSIDER GEO-THERMAL

​

1. Highly energy efficient: Makes the best use of available energy to provide cooling and generates energy that can be used for water heating even as it cools your home.

2. Outstanding comfort levels: Provides consistently high levels of cooling no matter the outdoor temperature.

3. Tax breaks and financial incentives: The U.S. government offers 30% tax credits for geothermal systems and local utility companies may also offer financial incentives for switching to geothermal energy.

4. Quiet operation: Geothermal systems run quietly, generating about the same amount of noise as a refrigerator.

5. Improved safety: Geothermal air conditioning produces no harmful emissions because it doesn’t burn fossil fuels. The dangers of carbon monoxide and accidental fires are eliminated.

6. Longer useful life: Geothermal equipment is not exposed to the weather and has fewer parts than can malfunction, which means geothermal systems last longer than other HVAC equipment.

7. Fewer replacements needed: The need for frequent equipment replacement is eliminated, which is especially important in salty coastal environments where equipment life expectancy is lower.

8. Improved property aesthetics: There is no outdoor unit in your yard when using geothermal energy, so your property looks better and is easier to maintain.

9. Reduced theft and vandalism: Geothermal components are inaccessible to individuals who would steal copper or refrigerant from them.

10. Lower lifetime costs: An investment in geothermal can pay for itself over a shorter period of time through monthly utility cost savings alone.
