Savings and Benefits of using Geothermal Energy



The energy cost savings will easily exceed this added amount over the course of the year. On a retrofit, geothermal energy’s high efficiency typically means much lower utility bills, allowing the investment to be recouped in three to four years. Currently there is a Federal Tax Credit of 30% of the total cost to install the entire geothermal system including the costs of electrical, ductwork, building the loop system, and the equipment costs. In addition, some utility companies have incentive packages that make the purchase of a geothermal system even less expensive, as well as discounted electrical rates for homes with geothermal systems.



Because they use fewer mechanical components and because those components are sheltered from the elements, 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.


Year-Round Comfort



Low Maintenance

Geothermal heat pump systems have fewer maintenance requirements than more common heating and cooling systems. When properly installed, the underground components are virtually worry-free. The components in the living space are easily accessible, which increase the convenience factor and helps ensure that the upkeep is done on a timely basis.
