Geothermal: Economic Advantages

You no longer have to sacrifice comfort for lower utility bills. Since geothermal systems use the free, renewable energy right in your own backyard, you can stop worrying about skyrocketing utility rates. In fact, you will see a savings in your heating , cooling, and hot water costs by up to 70%!

The key economic advantage of a geothermal heating and cooling system is its energy efficiency. For every one unit of energy it uses, it produces 2.5 to 3.5 units of heat - an average efficiency of 300 percent!

That means with a geothermal system, you'll get the most value, comfort and convenience for your energy dollar.

For comparison, a high-efficiency natural gas furnace would have an efficiency of 92 percent, meaning 92 cents out of every energy dollar used is put back into your home in the form of warmed air. If you have an older home, you might be replacing a furnace or boiler with an efficiency of 60 percent or even less.

The cost of an average three-ton geothermal system for a 2,000 square foot home is comparable to a traditional system. You'll also need to consider the added cost of installing the ground loop. This will vary on the type of loop chosen.

Use our handy calculator to estimate your potential savings with a new geothermal system.
