The Benefits of Geothermal Energy

Why Use Geothermal Energy?

There are so many great benefits when choosing a green solution to heat your house, but the best ones are operating costs and energy efficiency.

With a geothermal heat pump you'll enjoy these benefits:

 
 
•  Energy Efficiency & Lower Operating Costs - A Geothermal heat pump system can save you money. The pump uses the earth's thermal properties to save costs on running your heating and air conditioning systems. On average, homeowners can save between 30 - 70% in their heating costs and 20 -50% in cooling costs when compared to a conventional HVAC systems. A Geothermal heat pump provides an effciency of 300 to 400%.
• Geothermal energy does not rise with inflation!
• Extremely Dependable - Canadian government states that Geothermal Systems last 20 percent longer as well as the lowest cost of lifetime maintenance.
• Environmentally Friendly - Geothermal systems lower the need for power generation and eliminate fossil fuel consumption. These systems produce a large impact on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
• Higher Comfort - Because the earths temperature is mostly stable, you can expect a constant source of heating in the winter and improved humidity control in the summer months of operation.
• Flexibility - Geothermal Systems can operate in almost all combinations, including: forced-air heating, radiant in-floor heating, domestic hot water, and air conditioning from one unit. A Geothermal System can handle houses, office buildings, swimming pools and everything in between.
• Quiet Operation- neither -  Geothermal heat pumps are quiet and small. You will hardly know its there, but you'll notice the dramatic difference in your energy bills.
• Healthier Air Quality - Eliminates Carbon Monoxide because nothing is combusted. 
• Safer - No flames, no chimneys, no odors, and especially no risk from carbon monoxide. Simply safe and reliable operation.
