Because 75% of geothermal energy is free, a system can see a simple payback of capital costs in less than 5 years.

Geothermal systems have a longer life cycle: 25 years for the mechanical equipment and 50+ years for the lground loop, compared to 15 to 20 year life expectancy for traditional HVAC equipment. With zero combustion, there is no requirement for an annual service. (The loop should be monitored for temperature and pressure and the air filters need to be cleaned or changed regularly.)

Geothermal equipment is installed indoors. This improves longevity of equipment and provides a safe environment for maintenance staff. Workers are not exposed to the dangers of servicing equipment on rooftops. There is no production of carbon monoxide from a geothermal system.

Multi-stage units tend to not overheat or overcool by providing a very consistent temperature. Humidity is controlled by our standard humidity control feature and full dehumidification is available using the ClimaDry option. These systems are easily matched to energy recovery ventilation for efficient use of fresh outdoor air. Classroom units have HRV’s with heat wheels, CO2 and occupancy sensors for ultimate ventilation control.

Geothermal systems provide heating and cooling more evenly than conventional equipment resulting in a significant increase in comfort.

Geothermal heat pumps produce no GHG emissions on site. Due to the high efficiency and reduced use of electricity, geothermal heat pumps also produce less GHG emissions from offsite sources.

No outdoor condensing units or cooling towers on roof or ground provide architectural freedom and less structural concerns from weight of roof-top equipment.
