The Facts.
According to the EPA, geothermal systems are "the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost effective space conditioning systems available today."
The earth absorbs about 47% of the sun's energy that reaches it, storing that energy in the ground. A geothermal system extracts that free energy for heating during winter. For cooing, the system removes heat from the home and transfers that energy to your domestic hot water tank and then the remaining heat is absorbed by the earth.
According to the Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium, "installing a geothermal system instead of an ordinary system is the environmental equivalent (in emission reduction) of taking two cars off the road or planting an acre of trees. There are over 1 million geothermal installation today, resulting in the avoidance of more than 5.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide and more than 1.6 million metric tons of carbon equivalent annually. In addition, existing geothermal installations are the environmental equivalent (in emission reduction) of taking 1.2 million cars off the road, or planting more than 385 million trees."
