Why Choose Geothermal Heating?

Why Choose Geothermal Heating?

Scientists say this GeoThermal energy is clean, quiet and virtually inexhaustible, with the opportunity to fill the world’s annual needs 250,000 times over with nearly zero impact on the climate or the environment.

A study released this year by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said if 40 percent of the heat under the United States could be tapped, it would meet demand 56,000 times over.

What does this offer to you and your home?

  • Save 60% compared to oil.
  • 30% tax credit “levels the playing field” for installation cost vs. oil
  • Heat pump and equipment made in the USA
  • Uses electricity generated in the USA
  • Significant reduction in carbon emissions
  • Increased comfort
  • Air Conditioning ready
  • Electricity costs are far more stable than fossil fuel costs
  • No combustion = safer (fire, carbon monoxide poisoning)
  • Quiet operation
  • Longer life expectancy (25 years vs. 20 for furnace)
  • No yearly maintenance
  • Increased home re-sale value
  • Consolidated utility bill
  • No need for a chimney
  • Uses constant temp. of Earth to be more efficient than air source heat pumps
  • All equipment indoors (out of the elements = less maintenance, longer life)
  • No handling associated with wood and pellets (delivery, stacking, chopping, storing, feeding)
  • No need to shovel a path for the oil delivery truck

Cost of Geothermal Energy

Geothermal systems can be defined as either open loop, closed loop, or standing column well. Since open loop systems rely on wells, ponds, lakes and streams as water sources they are generally less costly to install...
