Geothermal is a Green Technology. As stated by the EPA: geothermal heat pumps are the most energy efficient, environmentally clean, renewable and cost-effective space conditioner systems that are available. A solution of water and an FDA approved food based anti-freeze fills the loops and is continuously circulated by a very small, low wattage pump.
Geothermal heating and cooling systems are superior to conventional systems.
- lowest life-cycle cost
- nearly silent while operating
- no delivery of fuel/gas
- no outside equipment (A/C)
- virtually maintenance free
Geothermal is more efficient than other heating and cooling systems. Government studies have shown geothermal systems have the lowest life-cycle cost and lowest impact on the environment of any system available on the market today.
Geothermal systems are virtually maintenance free. The high density polyethylene pipe buried in the earth loop is guaranteed for 50 years by the manufacturer. With a geothermal system all of the equipment is located indoors, thus protected from the outdoor environment. Geothermal systems are rated to be the most maintenance free heating/cooling systems. Periodic checks and filter changes are the only required maintenance of a geothermal system.
