Operating Costs Results
We all know not only is geothermal heating and air conditioning better for the environment, but it saves you a lot of money on your energy bill. The efficiency of Geothermal Heating and Air Conditioning
is approximately 50-65% more efficient than an HVAC system. Specific savings vary due to factors such as different house designs, equipment efficiency, fuel costs, and weather. Our units also experience more longevity in parts and overall quality. In fact, a recent independent study revealed our geothermal units were rated as lasting twice as long as an air conditioning unit! The life span of our closed loop system equipment is rated at 25.5 years while a normal air conditioner is rated to last only about 12 years. Combining all of these factors together makes the switch to geothermal heating and air conditioning a smart decision.
You can take a look at Water Furnaces' Envision equipment here which we usually install due to it having the highest efficiency rating. This is a big part of the savings you recoup on your system which is using the bare minimum of electricity to run.
For more specific calculations of savings please see and compare the different geothermal savings calculators. These allow you to pick your residential area, type of heat/air conditioning you currently use, and how many residents live in your home. They then show you the amount you would be saving by making the switch!
