If you are planning a new building or the renovation of an existing one, you should consider installing a geothermal heat pump system.  Here’s why!

LOW ENERGY USE Geothermal systems can cut heating costs by up to 50% and cooling costs by 25%. As well, excess heat from the compressor is transferred to a hot water tank to provide free hot water in summer and in winter, water-heating costs are less than half.

YEAR-ROUND COMFORT
Geothermal heat pumps are quieter and improve humidity control better than conventional systems.  This helps explain why customer surveys regularly show levels of user satisfaction well over 90 percent.

DESIGN FEATURES Geothermal systems require less space than that needed by conventional systems and equipment rooms can be greatly scaled down in size.

IMPROVED AESTHETICS
Geothermal systems allow for more aesthetically pleasing architectural designs and eliminate exterior noise because equipment is stored inside the building. 

LOW MAINTENANCE Maintenance costs are about one-third that of conventional systems and is limited to cleaning the heat exchanger coils and changing air filters.

ZONE HEATING/COOLING
Different areas of the building can be heated or cooled to different temperatures simultaneously.

DURABILITY
Geothermal units are durable and highly reliable because there are relatively few moving parts, and those parts are sheltered inside a building away from the elements.

WARRANTIES
The confidence level exhibited by geothermal heating system manufacturers is shown in their warranty. Unit warranties of five years on parts, plus a repair and replacement labor allowance exist with most manufacturers. 

SAFETY
There are no gas lines or open flames in a geothermal system. This eliminates the concerns of carbon monoxide coming from your heating/cooling system.

REDUCED VANDALISM
Vandalism is eliminated because geothermal has no outdoor compressors or cooling towers.
