Due to the earth’s thermal properties, for every electricity unit the geothermal system uses, it generates three to four units of heat energy, an efficiency rating of 300 to 400 percent. Because geothermal systems operate much more efficiently than traditional heating and cooling systems, energy savings range from thirty to seventy percent. These flexible systems can also provide the heating for hot water tanks, saunas, hot tubs and swimming pools.
There is no flame or flue, nor any risk of carbon monoxide build-up. Geothermal systems provide safe, reliable heating and cooling throughout the year.
Geothermal systems provide constant, even heating in winter and improved humidity control during the warmer months. There is no unsightly outdoor condensing unit, and the self-contained in-door system runs smoothly and quietly.
Greenhouse gas emissions are greatly reduced with the use of geothermal systems, as they eliminate the on-site burning of fossil fuels and dramatically reduce the need for power generation. |
