After savings, what are other benefits of a geothermal system?
• Comfort In homeowner surveys, geothermal systems are routinely ranked as “more comfortable” than traditional gas, oil, or electric systems. Geothermal systems get rid of the humidity changes that traditional systems are prone to, as well as the occasional odour caused by combustion of fossil fuels. • 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. • Less Noise Since the geothermal system also provides air conditioning, no noisy traditional outdoors unit is required. • Low maintenance 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 explosions. • Long life Geothermal units have a life expectancy of 20-25 years.
