7 Benefits Of Geothermal
11/12/2013
Geothermal energy is renewable energy because once water or steam is used, it can be pumped back into the ground. It is also clean energy.
Lower Operating Cost
The highest efficiency rating for a gas furnace is 94 percent. Geothermal, on the other hand, gets a whopping 400 percent efficiency rating. Geothermal can also reduce heating costs by up to 70 percent.
Saves the Planet
Geothermal is environmentally friendly and doesn’t emit carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and other greenhouse gasses. In addition, it uses renewable fuel and doesn’t deplete the earth’s natural resources.
Less Noise
There is no noisy outdoor equipment involved in geothermal and the level of noise made is comparable to a refrigerator.
Clean and Safe
There is no chance of carbon-monoxide poisoning when using geothermal.
Outlasts the Competition
Geothermal systems typically 15 or more years, but the ground loop (the part that’s underground) will last more than 50 years.
Reliable Power
Since geothermal isn’t affected by weather, it beats wind and solar as a renewable energy source.
Long-Term Savings
Although the initial investment of installing a geothermal system is costly, the energy savings produced will equal and exceed the cost of the system installation over time.
