• System is quiet, no noisy outdoor fans or compressor

Is Geothermal Environmentally sound?

Over 70% of the energy required to operate the geothermal system and provide the heating, cooling and hot water comes from the sun’s energy stored in the earth.
Geothermal reduces energy use from fossil fuels by up to 50% and correspondingly reduce their carbon footprint.
No greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide) are emitted by the geothermal heat pump.

Is it safe?

No heating and cooling system is safer. Heating and cooling are provided without presence of a flame or emission of gas or fumes. Improved safety should improve insurance rates, eliminated potential for fire, explosion or gas asphyxiation.
