Benefits of Ground Source (Geothermal) Heat Pumps

Geothermal home energy systems pay off right away!

Here is just a partial listing of the benefits of Ground Source Heat Pumps:

- Ground Source Heat Pump systems are very quiet and can both heat and cool your home

- Ground Source Heat Pumps have no flammable or corrosive fuels, and no exposed moving or hot parts that could hurt children or pets

- These geothermal energy systems reduce your "carbon footprint" and our reliance on fossil fuels.

- Ground Source Heat pumps are the same size or smaller (esp. if you use a conventional oil system with a tank) than conventional systems

- There may be tax incentives that your state or the federal government will give you for installing a geothermal energy system.

- Ground source Heat Pumps can save you 20-30% on your hot water bill by preheating water underground.

- These geothermal home energy systems are durable and have little cost of upkeep - some installers are giving 40-75 year warranties

- You may even be able to get a grant, or be a geothermal home demonstration project and get some of your costs paid.

This is by no means an exhaustive list pf the benefits of ground source heat pumps for home geothermal energy, but as you can see it may be worth you while to look into this alternative "green" source of energy today.
