Benefits of Geothermal

Ground Source Heat Pumps offer great benefits:

• Simultaneously heat & cool different parts of the same building.
• Very quiet users do not know when the system is operating.
• Can be set up in multiple zones, with each zone having an individual room control.
• Greater freedoms in building design due to 50-80% less mechanical room space.
• No outside equipment to hide, eliminating vandalism and roof top units.
• Pipes have 50-year life expectancy.
• All electric, which eliminates multiple utility services.
• Expel boiler and chiller maintenance.
• Ground heat exchanger is maintenance free and will last 40+ years.

GSHPs offer great savings:

• Very competitive on initial costs and lower lifecycle costs than most HVAC systems.
• Savings of 25-50% on energy consumption.
• Lower peak demand, lowering your operating costs.
• Water heated with waste heat from air conditioning at no cost in the summer and at substantial savings in the winter.
• Some utilities offer rebates or incentives to their customers who purchase GSHPs.

GSHPs are environmentally friendly:

• Conserve natural resources by providing efficient climate control and thus lowering emissions.
• Minimize ozone layer destruction by using sealed refrigeration systems, which seldom or never have to be recharged.
• Use underground loops to transfer heat, with no external venting and no air pollution.
• Very energy efficient, with the earth providing over 70% of the energy required to heat and cool.
