It is, indeed, a big step to commit to a geothermal heating and cooling system for your home. But it is a step up. And plenty of Burlington homeowners will acknowledge that – particularly those who engaged Crabbe Service for their geothermal system installation. If you’re still reviewing your options, not quite primed to move forward, let these eight focal geothermal facts percolate in your head a bit:
- 21st century geothermal technology is a proven technology that’s been researched and refined over the course of half a century or so.
- To date, there are well over one million commercial and residential geothermal heating and cooling installations here in the States alone.
- General trust in geothermal heating and cooling is high, with owners grading the comfort, operational ease, and energy savings their geothermal systems afford higher than that of any other system they’ve owned.
- A U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study shows that geothermal systems have the lowest life-cycle costs of any other heating and cooling system now marketed.
- Maintenance spending is markedly lower with geothermal than with traditional central HVAC systems chiefly because geothermal systems have so few moving mechanisms and require so little maintenance anyway.
- Geothermal heating and cooling systems can last for a good 30 to 50 years, whereas standard HVAC systems quite often need repair or replacement 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 clear that Burlington owners of geothermal systems often find their energy bills reduced by amounts ranging anywhere from 30 to 70 percent!
- Geothermal heating and cooling systems are known to be more environmentally accommodating than any fossil fuel system, giving rise, by comparison, to about one pound less of CO2 for each hour of use.
