Geothermal Systems: Get The Facts, And Get One Step Closer To A ‘Green’ Building Or Pool
If you or your condo association are assessing ways to reduce your carbon footprint, chances are you are considering a geothermal heating and cooling system as a way to become more energy efficient and save money.
A geothermal heat pump doesn’t create hot or cool air. Instead, it simply transfers the heat that exists below the ground into your home (during the winter), or it takes the heat in your home and discharges it into the earth (in the summer). That’s why geothermal systems are so energy efficient.
Consider these facts when making a decision about a geothermal system:
- They can reduce energy consumption by 40 to 70 percent.
- Equipment longevity is about twice as great as gas- or oil-burning systems.
- They’re 48 to 75 percent more efficient than traditional technologies.
- With a geothermal system, you pay only for the electricity it costs to run the system’s compressors and pumps. Savings on electric bills are estimated at 25 to 50 percent.
- No on-site emissions are generated.
