Geothermal
Looking for a way to reduce your energy costs and do something good for the environment? Adding a geothermal heat pump to your Northwest Ohio, Wood County, Lucas County, Bowling Green, Maumee, Perrysburg, or Toledo home is an investment that can, over time, save you significant amounts of money – more than any other heating system available.
Geothermal heat pumps are cost effective
Despite their high install costs, incredible savings over the life of the unit make geothermal heat pumps a very smart investment. Most geothermal heat pumps pay for themselves in about five to six years, which means that over decades of operation (most geothermal heat pumps are guaranteed to last as many as 50 years!), you should see a significant return on investment. Also, since geothermal heat pumps draw heat directly from the ground, you will not have to deal with gas or oil companies – no more high utilities, no more service outages.
In addition to monthly energy savings, if you purchase a new geothermal heat pump between now and the end of this year you will qualify for a tax credit from the government! The tax credit for geothermal heat systems is worth up to 30% of the cost of the entire installation job, including all parts and labor, with no upper limit.
Geothermal heat pumps are highly efficient
Geothermal heat pumps are the most efficient residential heating and cooling systems available today, with heating efficiencies 50 – 70% higher than conventional systems in the winter and cooling efficiencies 20 – 40% higher in the summer. Not only that, but they can take waste heat (especially during the winter) and use it to provide free hot water!
Since geothermal heat pumps move heat from the earth to your home and vice versa, they require no fuel to operate. This means no harmful emissions escaping into the air and no consumption of foreign oil and other resources. Energy savings are so great that the approximately 1,000,000 geothermal heat pumps currently in use in the United States are saving about 8 billion kWh of electricity and 40 trillion Btus of fossil fuels – that is the equivalent of taking nearly 1.3 million cars off the road!
