WHY GEOTHERMAL?
What is geothermal?
Geothermal energy (ground-source or geo-exchange) makes use of the earth’s relatively
constant temperatures, transferring heat from
the ground into the home during cold weather
and transferring heat from the home from the
ground during warm weather.
Advantages of geothermal
No combustion products
300-400% energy efficient
Pay for themselves quickly (typically 3-5 years)
Utility companies have rebates and special rates available
More consistent temperature control
Can heat and cool different areas of a home simultaneously
Environmentally friendly and renewable
Reduce annual emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitric oxide
If you are considering construction on a new home, replacing a furnace, renovating an old heating or air conditioning system, or installing radiant floor heating, why not consider a geothermal heat pump, the most efficient system available?
