For sure, it’s a big step to move ahead with a geothermal heating and cooling system for your home. But it is a step up. And many Atlanta homeowners will vouch for that – especially those who engaged EcoMech for their geothermal system installation. If you’re still weighing your options, not quite primed to choose, let these eight fundamental geothermal facts roll around in your brain a little:
- 21st century geothermal technology is a proven technology that’s been put to the test – and acing it! – for upwards of 50 years.
- Right now, there are well over one million commercial and residential geothermal heating and cooling installations in this country alone.
- The public’s trust in geothermal heating and cooling is high, with owners rating the comfort, operational ease, and energy savings their geothermal systems provide higher than that of any other system with which they’re familiar.
- A U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study discloses that geothermal systems have the lowest life-cycle costs of any other heating and cooling system currently available.
- Maintenance expenses are noticeably lower with geothermal than with traditional central HVAC systems mainly because geothermal systems have so few moving machine parts and need so little maintenance to begin with.
- Geothermal heating and cooling systems typically will remain on the job for a solid 30 to 50 years, whereas common HVAC systems quite often must be repaired or replaced after 15 years.
- Comparing the cost of local utilities and fossil fuel to the cost of running a geothermal heating and cooling system makes it patently obvious that Atlanta owners of geothermal systems normally see a lowering of their energy bills ranging anywhere from 30 to 70 percent!
- Geothermal heating and cooling systems are much less of an environmental challenge than any fossil fuel system, producing, by comparison, nearly one pound less of CO2 for each hour of use.
If these fast facts have made a geothermal heating and cooling system look more irresistable to you, get hold of EcoMech, the Atlanta geothermal authority, today. There’s plenty more we can tell you to set your mind at ease. And when you’re ready to commit, we’ve got just the geothermal heating and cooling system that can handle your home.
