THE BENEFITS OF

GEOTHERMAL

Using GEOTHERMAL energy in a home via geothermal heat pumps (GHP) is an efficient, cost-
effective, and eco-friendly way to heat and cool. These systems tap into the steady underground
temperature to deliver reliable comfort year-round. A geothermal setup includes ground loops
that draw heat from the earth, a heat pump that transfers and converts that energy, and an
HVAC system that distributes it throughout the home

Some benefits are:

High Energy Efficiency
300–600% efficient in heating and 200–500% efficient in cooling, compared to traditional
systems (usually under 100% efficient).
Uses the stable temperature of the earth to regulate indoor climate.
Reduces energy consumption by 30–70% compared to conventional HVAC systems.

Lower Operating Costs
While installation costs are higher, monthly utility bills are significantly lower.
ROI typically achieved in 5–10 years, depending on usage and local energy prices.

Environmentally Friendly
No fossil fuels burned on-site.
Reduces carbon emissions and dependence on non-renewable energy sources.
Geothermal is considered a clean and renewable energy source by the U.S. EPA.

Quiet Operation
No noisy outdoor compressor unit like in traditional AC systems.
The system runs quietly, with most components underground or in the basement.

Comfort & Consistency
Maintains a steady indoor temperature with less fluctuation. Better humidity control,
improving indoor air quality and comfort.

Safe and Reliable
No combustion, so no risk of carbon monoxide leaks or explosions.
Not affected by outdoor temperature swings like air-source systems.
