Why Use Geothermal?
For the Comfort Warm heat is TETCO heat. Cool comfort is TETCO comfort. Pollution? Safety? Indoor air quality? No problem! Since there is no fossil fuel and no flame, feel good about feeling comfortable. Don't worry about how it will fit in with your landscaping. Your TETCO is all indoors -- compact, quiet, and dedicated to your comfort.
For the Savings TETCO Geothermal products are designed to take advantage of the earth's ability to easily absorb and release energy. TETCOs use electricity to move energy instead of creating it. Astounding energy savings are possible with this technology -- and there are no sacrifices, just benefits.
For the Environment In a world which is more and more energy conscious, more concerned with our environment, what could make more sense? There is no better time than now to begin using the clean, free energy of the earth! !
Benefits
The biggest benefit of GHPs is that they use 25%-50% less electricity than conventional heating or cooling systems. This translates into a GHP using one unit of electricity to move three units of heat from the earth. According to the EPA, geothermal heat pumps can reduce energy consumption-and corresponding emissions-up to 44% compared to air-source heat pumps and up to 72% compared to electric resistance heating with standard air-conditioning equipment. GHPs also improve humidity control by maintaining about 50% relative indoor humidity, making GHPs very effective in humid areas.
Geothermal heat pump systems allow for design flexibility and can be installed in both new and retrofit situations. Because the hardware requires less space than that needed by conventional HVAC systems, the equipment rooms can be greatly scaled down in size, freeing space for productive use. GHP systems also provide excellent "zone" space conditioning, allowing different parts of your home to be heated or cooled to different temperatures.
A two-speed GHP system is so quiet inside a house that users do not know it is operating: there are no tell-tale blasts of cold or hot air.
