Residential Benefits of Geothermal Heating
- It is a reliable and proven technology, that has been in use worldwide for over 20 years.
- It has a short payback period from 1 to 7 years, when compared to conventional systems.
- It has low maintenance and operating costs compared to conventional systems.
- It is Multi-Functional - can be used for heating, cooling, and hot water.
- It is compact and hidden - A typical heat pump for a residential home is about the same size as a standard furnace, and the geothermal U-Loop is buried in the ground and hidden from view.
Geothermal energy can provide heating in winter, cooling in summer, and the option for year-round hot water for home use.
Reduce your heating and cooling costs by 67% or more - For each kilowatt of electricity used to run the heat pump, three to four kilowatts of free heat are delivered to the house.
Comfort - More Comfortable: Geothermal systems generate a more even heat than
conventional systems in the winter, and have better humidity control in the summer. This means a more comfortable home environment than with any other
equipment on the market.
Health and Safety - Because Geothermal systems do not burn fossil fuels they:
- Have no flames or fumes.
- Reduce the risk of house fires
- Create absolutely no indoor air pollution (a major health benefit)
- Remove all risk of carbon monoxide poisoning from the heating system
- No flammable or toxic chemicals
Government incentives for installing Geothermal are in place. Ground Power Systems will help you maximize your available incentive.
Reduce your dependence on fossil fuels as they constantly climb higher in price.
Quiet - All equipment is inside the home, so there is no noisy air conditioner outside. Homeowners can have a comfortable inside temperature and still enjoy the peace and quiet of their backyard .
