| Geothermal Systems Today
the entire world is looking harder at their energy costs. As a
company involved in energy related work, we feel it is part of our
job to be on the cutting edge of energy reduction technology. We
work directly with home builders, commercial project builders, and
individual home owners to provide our services as part of a
Geothermal Energy System installations.
The advantages to a Geothermal system are many, but mostly it's
to save you money. Energy costs are at their highest ever and we
would like for you to know there is an excellent method for reducing
your costs. You save money, you save the environment, so it's always
going to be worthwhile.
A few of the advantages of Geothermal
Systems...
Enviromental Advantages
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has concluded that
well-designed and properly installed high efficiency geothermal heat
pump systems produce less environmental harm than any other
alternative space conditioning technology currently available. On a
full fuel cycle basis, emerging geothermal systems are the most
efficient technology available, with the lowest CO2 emissions for
minimum greenhouse warming impact. Overall, the EPA found emerging
geothermal heating and cooling systems to have the lowest
environmental cost of all technologies analyzed -- including
air-source heat pumps and natural gas furnaces.
Economical Advantages
Converting from oil or electricity to geothermal will cut
heating costs by as much as 70 percent.

Cost Effective
On a retrofit, geothermal
energy's high efficiency typically means much lower utility bills,
allowing the investment to be recouped in two to ten years. In
addition, some utility companies have financing packages that make
the purchase of a geothermal system even less expensive. Still
others provide special rates for homes with geothermal systems.
Tax advantages
Consumers who purchase and install specific products, such as
energy-efficient windows, insulation, doors, roofs, and heating and
cooling equipment in the home can receive a tax credit of up to $500
for improvements "placed in service" starting January 1, 2009
through December 31, 2009. The ENERGY STAR® website has a complete
summary of energy efficiency tax credits available to consumers.
Durability
Because they use fewer mechanical components, and because those
components are sheltered from the elements, leaves, dirt, and
possible vandalism, geothermal heat pumps are durable and highly
reliable. The underground piping used in the system often has 25- to
50- year warranties, and geothermal heat pumps typically last 20
years or more.
Low Maintenance
Geothermal heat pump systems have fewer maintenance requirements
than most other systems. When properly installed, the underground
components are virtually worry-free. The components in the living
space are easily accessible, which increases the convenience factor
and helps ensure that the upkeep is done on a timely basis.
