Lower Operating Costs:
A geothermal system operates more efficiently than ordinary heating & air conditioning systems
because they can deliver an outstanding four units of energy for every one unit of electrical
energy used. That translates into an efficiency rating of 400%, compared to the most efficient gas
furnace, which rates only 95%. By combining stored earth energy with safe electric power,
many homeowners realize savings up to 60% for heating, cooling and hot water.

Lower Life Cycle Costs:
Because of the extraordinary efficiency of a geothermal system, any added investment related to
installing a geothermal unit is usually more than offset by your energy savings. In new homes,
most homeowners will experience an immediate positive return on their investment when the
system cost is added to the mortgage. In replacement installations, homeowners find that any
added investment over the cost of an ordinary system is generally recovered in energy savings
within a few years. And with a long system life and less maintenance, overall life cycle costs are
lower with geothermal.

Enhanced Comfort:
Provides precise distribution of comfortable air all year long, eliminating hot spots and cold
spots. During heating, you'll experience war air without the hot blasts associated with ordinary
gas furnaces. And compared to an air-source heat pump, the air is warmer. When cooling, a
geothermal unit delivers cool, dehumidified air. For ultimate comfort, a zoning system can be
added, using multiple thermostats to precisely control temperatures in various zones.

Safe:
Because natural gas, propane or oil are not required to operate a geothermal unit, there's no
combustion, flames or fumes and no chance of carbon-monoxide poisoning.

Quiet:
Unlike ordinary air conditioners or heat pumps, there is no noisy outdoor unit to disturb your
outdoor environment or your neighbors. Geothermal units are designed and constructed for
"whisper quiet" operation, similar to your refrigerator. Some models include variable speed fan
motors and acoustical enclosures for the compressors.

Clean:
With the all-electric geothermal system, there are no fumes produced during operation. By
adding optional high efficiency air cleaners, you'll achieve high levels of indoor air quality.

Environmentally Friendly:
According to the Department of Energy and the EPA, geothermal systems are the most
environmentally friendly way to heat and cool your home. The system emits no carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide or other greenhouse gases which are considered to be major contributors to
environmental air pollution. With a geothermal system, you can take comfort in a better
environment. In addition, the lower peak demand for geothermal systems helps to postpone the
need to build more expensive electric generating plants.

Reliable:
Unlike air conditioners and heat pumps, geothermal systems are installed indoors, so they are not
subject to wear and tear caused by rain, snow, ice, debris, extreme temperatures or vandalism.
Geothermal units have proven to be very reliable and require less maintenance.

Flexible:
Geothermal systems are installed in homes from the cold climates of northern Canada and Alaska
to the heat of Florida and Texas . Whether your home is new or old, large or small, a geothermal
system will deliver. One compact unit provides heating, central air conditioning and domestic
hot water. Various sizes, configurations (horizontal, vertical, splits), and options enable a system
to be installed in virtually any application.
