About Geothermal Heating and Cooling Pumps

Geothermal heat pumps are similar to ordinary heat pumps, but use the ground instead of outside air to provide heating, air conditioning and, in most cases, hot water. Because they use the earth's natural heat, they are among the most efficient and comfortable heating and cooling technologies currently available.

Earning the ENERGY STAR means products meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.

• ENERGY STAR qualified geothermal heat pumps use about 30% less energy than a standard heat pump.
  
  
• They are quieter than conventional systems.

Remember, saving energy prevents pollution. By choosing ENERGY STAR and taking steps to optimize the performance of your heating and cooling equipment, you are helping to prevent global warming and promoting cleaner air while enhancing the comfort of your home.

Goethermal Heating and Cooling Benefits

• 35% of your hot water for FREE!
• Reduces electric bills
• Contribute to a cleaner, greener environment
• Geothermal energy is a renewable resource

Facts:

Geothermal Heating and Cooling Sysems are 300%-400% energy efficient, returning $3 to $4 worth of heating or cooling for every $1 of electricity you put into it. Compare that to the 98% efficiency of the most modern gas furnace and the benefits are clear.

On average though operating costs with geothermal heat pumps are about 75% less than electric heating devices and 50% less than air source heat pumps. Cooling costs are 25% - 50% lower when compared to conventional air conditioners. In addition, because hot water is supplied by the heat pump at these efficiencies and higher, your overall savings are increased even more.

A geothermal system does not burn any fuel of any kind in the home. It requires only a small amount of electricity to power its pump, compressor and fan. This sort of earth-friendly energy system is the wave of the future. It's one of the technologies that is moving us away from old, inefficient uses of limited resources to new, renewable energy systems.
