What Is A Geothermal System?
Very simply, a geothermal system is the most advanced, efficient, adaptable, and cost effective heating and cooling system in the world today.
How Does It Work?
A geothermal system uses the energy of the sun, stored in the earth, to keep you in
comfort all year round. Even in the winter, when a blanket of snow may cover the ground,
the earth's temperature is a constant 10 to 15 Degrees C (40-60 Degrees F) at only six feet
below the surface, all year round. This means that you have a steady supply of heat to keep
you in comfort, even in the depths of the coldest winter.
The geothermal system consists of a geothermal unit, installed in your house, which is
attached to a series of pipes buried in the ground. An ethanol solution is circulated through
the pipes to make them highly efficient conductors of heat. The ethanol in the pipes absorbs
the heat from the ground and is pumped back into the geothermal unit in the house. The unit
extracts the heat from the ethanol solution, then distributes the heat throughout the house.
In the summer, the whole process reverses itself. Heat is taken from the air in the
house and transferred to the ground, which on warm days is cooler than the air.
Why Should I Buy A Geothermal System?
Geothermal systems promise tremendous savings over the long term as compared to
such traditional sources of energy as oil, electric resistance, natural gas, or propane. Annual
heating bills are anywhere from 50 to 80% lower, depending on the system that is replaced. A
geothermal installation pays you to own it! Geothermal energy is not subject to rising costs or
unpredictable price swings, and is not transported over long distances. It is always available,
right beneath your feet!
Besides The Great Savings, What Other Benefi ts Does A Geothermal System Have To Offer?
Geothermal systems offer a range of outstanding benefits to the homeowner, including:
In homeowner surveys, geothermal systems are routinely ranked as "more comfortable" than traditional gas, oil, or electric systems. Geothermal systems get rid of the sudden temperature and humidity changes that traditional systems are prone to, as well as the occasional odour caused by combustion of fossil fuels.
You will benefit from free or reduced cost hot water. A geothermal system will heat your water 2 to 3 times more efficiently than a regular hot water tank.
Since the geothermal system also provides air conditioning, no noisy traditional outdoors unit is required.
Cleaning the electrostatic filter once a month is all that's needed to keep the system in good running order.
Geothermal systems have no flame, no chimney, and no danger of fire or carbon monoxide poisoning. No more worrying about deadly natural gas leaks.
Geothermal units have a life expectancy of at least 20 years.
Does A Geothermal System Help The Environment?
Geothermal systems are totally non-polluting. In fact, installing a geothermal system to
replace a fossil fuel system immediately cuts your personal emissions contribution by 50%, or
the equivalent of taking several cars off the road. Additionally, in certain regions, replacing
an electric resistance system in your home with geothermal can drop your indirect emissions
load by a substantial amount.
Geothermal systems are clearly the environmental wave of the future.
Who Is The Ideal Customer?
Anyone who is tired of paying the high and unpredictable costs of heating with fossil fuels, who likes a quiet, safe, long-lived system that also offers optimum comfort!
What is the Future of Geothermal Energy?
Geothermal energy has a very promising future. The cost-efficiency of geothermal energy
will only continue to improve, as geothermal technology is periodically upgraded, and as fossil
fuel prices continue to rise. The era of inexpensive fossil fuels is over, and geothermal offers
better and better savings to the consumer with each passing year. More and more consumers
now see geothermal as a lifestyle choice, surpassing traditional fossil fuel sources in comfort,
adaptability, longevity, and safety as well as in price.
