Why Geothermal
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Geothermal Systems are,
" The most energy efficient, environmentally clean, cost effective space conditioning system available today ".
-
Efficiency- Geothermal Systems run at an efficiency level between 400%-500%. This means that with one input (electricity) will produce 4-5 units of heating or cooling. With such great efficiency you can expect to reduce you heating, cooling and hot water cost up to 70%!
-
Environment- Geothermal is a renewable energy just like solar and wind energy. In Fact, every geothermal system installed is equivalent to 2 car off the road and the emission they create, or a full acre of trees planted.
-
Low Maintenance- Because there are no fossil fuel combustion inside a Geothermal System their longevity greatly out last conventional systems. It is quite commonly expected that a Geothermal System will last 30+ Years.
-
Comfort - Geothermal has been describe as one of the most comfortable space conditioning systems on the market as well. This is not just an opinion. Because Geothermal Systems don't heat with a flame, it doesn't "cook" or "dry out" the air in the winter. This enables you to have the property humidity level in your home which can help people with dry skin and respiratory issue feel more comfortable.
-
Safety- Because there are no fossil fuel combustion inside a Geothermal System, installing one can greatly reduce the risk of harmful and potentially fatal Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
-
Domestic- All of our Geothermal Systems are Made in the United States and use the energy stored in the ground. In fact, every 100,000 homes installed with a Geothermal System reduces our consumption of Foreign Oil by 2.5 million gallons annually.
-
Government Incentives- When you combine the current Federal Tax Credit (30% residential; 10% commercial, of the entire project with No Cap!) and the rebates from NYSERDA and other local energy providers, Geothermal Systems are more affordable than ever. With these rebates and incentives softening the out of pocket expense, it is not unrealistic to see your Geothermal System pay itself in as little as 3-7 years.
