Economic Advantage of Installing a Geothermal Heating and Cooling System in Central and Northern British Columbia (BC)

A geothermal heating and cooling system is a sound investment. The operating costs of a typical geothermal system are 65-75% less than electric baseboard heat. The long term savings outweigh the initial setup cost with an average economic payback of 5-7 years.

"Geothermal Systems represent a savings of 30-70% in the heating mode, and 20-50% in the cooling mode compared to conventional systems." from Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium, GeoExchange Heating and Cooling Systems: Fascinating Facts.

Geothermal Heating and Cooling Systems operate at efficiencies of 300% to 400% - the ground source heat pump requires one unit of electricity while providing three to four units of heating energy to your home!

Geothermal Heating and Cooling Systems provide energy security from inflation of the unpredictable cost of fossil fuels.

Geothermal Heating and Cooling Systems are Environmentally Friendly

There are no emissions created from a geothermal system as no combustion takes place. This contributes to cleaner air and better air quality. This is especially apparent in BC, where the majority of our electricity is created by BC Hydro!

With a Geothermal System there is no flame, no flue, no odors, and no risk from carbon monoxide.  A Geothermal Heating and Cooling System is simply safe and reliable.

Geothermal Heating and Cooling is considered a Green Energy as it significantly reduces the emissions of greenhouse gases and the environmental damage caused by non-renewable resource extraction. By installing a geothermal heating system for your home, you are making a positive environmental impact and choosing sustainable development.

"If only 2% of Canadian single-family homes used a geoexchange system for their heating needs, a potential country-wide reduction in [greenhouse gas] emissions of 376,000 tons of CO2E would be possible, which is equivalent to removing nearly 112,000 automobiles from Canadian roads." from Canadian Geoexchange Coalition, Comparative Analysis of Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Various Residential Heating Systems in the Canadian Provinces, April 2010.

Proven Comfort from a Geothermal Heating and Cooling System

A Geothermal Heating and Cooling System is able to provide a comfort level that is equivalent or better than natural gas, wood, or electric heating systems.

The constant flow of heat from a Geothermal System provides even heating that distributes warmth to all areas of your home, as required.  This prevents hot and cold pockets that develop with other conventional heating systems.

Geothermal Systems can easily be controlled to provide both heating and air conditioning to different "zones" within your home.  This allows different parts of your home to be at different temperatures. This is useful for large homes or areas that are less frequently occupied.

All Nordic Geothermal Heat Pumps use the Electronically Comutated Motor (ECM) multi-speed fan and motor assembly.  The ECM is exceptionally energy efficient and provides two or more speeds with whisper quietness.  Nordic Ground Source Heat Pumps operate so quietly, users will barely know they are there; however, you will notice the lower energy bills!

A single Geothermal System has the ability to provide heating and air conditioning.  While Prince George, BC is a heating dominate climate, you can still take advantage of this design feature during a hot summer.

Geothermal Heating and Cooling Systems eliminate the need for exhaust venting, which reduces the number of penetrations in the building envelope and therefore improves your home's weather tightness.
