Geothermal Systems

Is a Geothermal System Right for You?

Nearly half of the sun’s energy that reaches the earth is absorbed by the ground. A geothermal system harnesses that free, renewable energy and provides a very economical, eco-friendly way to heat and cool your home.

ServiceMark has been installing and servicing geothermal systems for several years. Our energy experts can help determine if going geothermal is right for your home. If it is, a geothermal system can help you:

• Cut heating costs by 40%-70% vs. conventional systems
• Cut cooling costs by 30%-50% vs. conventional systems
• Reduce the greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming

Geothermal systems capitalize on the solar energy stored year-round just beneath the earth’s surface.  This free geothermal energy is an unlimited, renewable resource.  The lot surrounding a typical suburban home contains 10 times more energy than is required over an entire heating season.  And this resource is constantly replenished by the sun, the surrounding earth and heat rejected while the geothermal system is cooling in the summer.

The Department of Energy and the EPA recognize geothermal systems as the most environmentally friendly, cost effective and energy efficient heating and cooling technology available.

Geothermal heat pumps help electric utilities achieve significant reductions in their peak demand loads.  By reducing the demand on electric utilities, the need for new power plants is reduced along with a reduced need for natural resources like coal or gas used to generate electricity.  These systems also minimize the threats of acid rain, air pollution, the greenhouse effect and global warming – problems directly linked to the burning of fossil fuels.
