- Geothermal energy not only costs less to operate, but also helps
preserve natural resources and lessens the dependency on fossil
fuels.
- A geothermal or “ground-source” heat pump is
an electrically-powered system that uses the natural heat
storage ability of the earth and/or the earth’s groundwater to
heat and cool your home. The piping itself is guaranteed 50
years and it's virtually worry-free. Geothermal systems are
easier to operate because they have no outside condensing units
like air conditioners.
- Geothermal heat pumps are durable and require little maintenance.
- They have fewer mechanical components than other systems and most of those components are underground, sheltered from the weather.
- The components inside the house are small and
easily accessible for maintenance. Warm and cool air is
distributed through ductwork, similar to a regular forced air
system.
