Cost Effective
Geothermal heat pumps save money in operating and maintenance costs. There is also the benefit of free hot water. In the summer cooling period, the heat that is taken from a building is used to heat the water. In the winter, water-heating costs are reduced by about half. Geothermal systems are also easy to install.

Durability
Because they use fewer mechanical components, and because those components are sheltered from the elements (like leaves, dirt and possible vandalism) geothermal heat pumps are durable and highly reliable. The underground piping used in the system often has a 25-50 year warranty, and the GHPs themselves typically last 20 years or more.

Quiet Operation
With geothermal there are no outside condensing units like air conditioners, so there’s no concern about air conditioning noise. A two speed geothermal system is so quiet that users do not know it is operating because there are no blasts of cold or hot air. Geothermal also improves humidity control by maintaining about 50% relative indoor humidity.

Environmentally Safe
Geothermal systems are recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency as the most environmentally friendly heating and cooling technology available. It is a system you can feel good about using. Carbon emissions are significantly reduced.

Aesthetically Pleasing
Offer Curb Appeal Because there is no need for high maintenance boilers or cooling towers, buildings have a much better appeal. Also, because there is no large heating units and boiler rooms necessary, geothermal systems also offer more building space to be used for other reasons.

Individual Zone Control
In large buildings, many individual heat pumps can be placed in different zones and each can be sized to meet the needs of the space it conditions. When properly integrated, these systems recover excess heat from one indoor zone of the building and use it where it is needed. For example, heat pumps on the sunny side of a large building with an integrated system can provide cooling while those on the shady side are provided heat. Each of these individual units is attached to the same earth connection by a loop inside the building. It is even possible to connect multiple building in the same general area to the same earth connection.
