Geothermal Heat Pumps

Geothermal Energy Is Great!! 

Helping you see the light

• Excellent Efficiency - With efficiency ratings at least three times higher than other heating and cooling systems it is estimated that you can save between 30 to 70% on heating and cooling costs.
  
  
• Eliminate Emissions - These systems do not have on-site emissions or flammable materials. By eliminating any combustion you do not have to worry about fumes, odors, or carbon monoxide in your home.
• Energy Savings - While investing in a geothermal unit is initially more expensive than a traditional system, the annual savings on energy bills more than compensates for the initial output and you can usually expect full payback in three to five years.
• Low Environmental Impact - According to the U.S. Department of Energy, if just 100,000 homes converted to a geothermal heating and cooling system, carbon dioxide emissions could be reduced by 880 million pounds. Currently, atmospheric CO2 is 30% higher than it was 200 years ago and if not reduced can cause serious detrimental global impacts. Geothermal technology offers a wonderful solution to lowering these greenhouse gases.
  
  
• Improved Humidity Control - Geothermal heat pumps provide better humidity control than a tradition system, thus there is a reduced chance for mold and mildew growth. These systems are ideal for individuals will allergy problems or lung problems.
• Unsurpassed Comfort - These systems do not have fans, so instead of hearing and feeling blasts of air, you will enjoy a quiet, consistent temperature throughout the day.
• Low Maintenance - According to a study conducted for the Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium (GHPC), the maintenance costs are about one-third the cost of conventional systems. In fact, the only work necessary involves occasional cleaning of the heat exchanger and regular changing of the air filters.
• Durability - The underground loops carry warranties of 25 to 50 years. The pumps, which are safely located within the home, often last 20 years or more.
• Reduced Vandalism - The mechanical components are safely located underground or within the home - which eliminates fears of vandalism or theft.
• Customer Satisfaction - In a customer survey based on heating systems, geothermal heat pump users report higher customer satisfaction than any other customers surveyed.
  
  
• Tax Credits - Also, recent Congressional legislation has provided a 30% tax credit for the installed cost of a residential heat pump system, no cap!
