Lower operating costs:
Geothermal
and air to water systems can cut utility bills by 30 to 50 percent
compared to conventional heating systems.
Environmental impact:
Ground-source and
air source heat is naturally renewable and non-polluting
Lower maintenance costs:
Life span:
A
heat pump system can have a life expectancy of up to 30 years;
bore hole loops are often warranted for up to 50 years.
Single system:
Heat
pump equipment provides heating in one system.
Indoor comfort:
Heat
pump systems eliminate the drafts common with conventional forced
air systems.
Design flexibility:
Heat
pump systems can be easily and inexpensively subdivided or expanded
to fit building remodelling or additions.
Energy efficiency:
A
heat pump can move more than three units of energy for every one
unit of electrical energy used to power the system.
Safety:
No
dangers of gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning. |
