8 Reasons to Develop with Geothermal Energy

1. Added Value through Stable Operating Costs
The operating and maintenance costs of a geothermal heating system are significantly lower than traditional heating systems—30-60% lower in most cases. A potential homeowner is looking for value-added benefits to purchase in your development. By offering geothermal energy, you are offering potential owners a competitively priced supply of heating / cooling energy that is protected from the wild price swings in the fossil fuel energy market.

Geothermal energy offers a fixed rate to the consumer, independent of global events. Marketed at a fixed cost, geothermal energy is increasingly attractive to home buyers in this volatile economic environment in which energy prices unflinchingly continue to soar.

2. Green: Kyoto One-Tonne Challenge
Geothermal energy systems are environmentally friendly and thus highly marketable. With heightened public awareness and responsibility towards a cleaner, safer environment, the demand for “greener” alternatives is on the rise. The environmental impact of using geothermal energy is minimal. It does not require the burning of fossil fuels, which is associated with health risks such as asthma and produces little or no air emissions.

Homeowners are more aware than ever of their contribution to greenhouse gases. Geothermal energy installed in their home immediately meets the Kyoto One-Tonne Challenge to reduce your personal greenhouse gas emissions by one-tonne each year.

3. Clean
It is a clean source of energy that does not emit the harmful gases and odors associated with natural gas, but instead contributes towards better air quality. As an abundant and renewable energy source, it enables us to conserve and use energy more efficiently and helps move us towards a more sustainable future.

4. Comfortably Warm
Geothermal energy systems provide a stable, low-level heat, so homeowners are ensured of comfortable temperature control and even heating throughout the space when compared with conventional heating systems.

5. Comfortably Cool
Geothermal energy provides a source of energy most commonly associated with heating a home. Since it is a source of energy, it can also provide air-conditioning for homeowners during the warm months of the year.

6. Safe
It is also a much safer option as there is no need to store fuel, leaving no risk of explosions or exposure to carbon monoxide.

7. Utility
Geothermal systems are flexible and can simultaneously heat or cool rooms within a unit, making it useful not only for homes but also schools, offices and community centers.

8. Design
Architectural designs can be enhanced as geothermal systems are totally contained inside the house - no bulky, noisy external compressors.
