Why Geothermal Drilling?
If you are at the point of looking for a drilling contractor, you’ve probably researched the concept and principles of ground source heat pump technology. Nevertheless, here are a few points that reinforce the positives of this growing industry: • Ground source heat pump systems eliminate furnace flues, chimneys and pilot light flames reducing the fire hazard potential in your home or office. • Greenhouse gases are eliminated from the heat generating point making the system environmentally friendly. • Heating costs from a ground source heat pump system produce $4 of heat for every $1 of electricity spent. • “Free” air conditioning – costs for cooling your home can be as little as the electricity it takes to operate the forced air system and the liquid circulation pump, the cooling system is installed as part of the heating system with no extra cost. • A well-designed geoexchange system will provide hot water at no cost during the cooling season and will operate at a 1:3 ratio or better
