If you were given the choice of burning money or saving money, which would you choose? The question
may sound crazy, but that's what each homeowner faces when decided whether or not to invest in GeoExchange®.
Because a GeoExchange® system tends to have a higher installation cost
than most conventional systems, many homeowners view it as an expensive system. But this is only half
of the picture.
As a homeowner
consider more than the initial investment when purchasing a new system: consider the monthly energy costs
and the annual maintenance costs and the annual maintenance costs. You may find that a fossil fuel furnace
will cause you to burn money rather than save it, and a conventional air conditioner will cause you to
waste energy rather than conserve it.
When selecting a system, always consider the payback, efficiency, cash flow, operating costs and system
life-span. System payback is how long it takes to recover in energy savings the difference in costs between
GeoExchange® system can be recovered within three to five years. We can
help you figure your payback on a GeoExchange® investment.
Because GeoExchange® systems deliver three or four units of energy to
the home for every unit of electrical energy used to power the system, they rank first in energy efficiency
and long-term operational savings.
GeoExchange®
systems can be used in new and retrofit applications. But as a new home buyer, you are an especially good
candidate for a GeoExchange® system. Because you are already making a long-term
investment in new construction the initial costs of the GeoExchange® system
can usually be tied into your monthly mortgage payment. The monthly savings from the system easily covers
the additional amount added to your mortgage payment. So you are creating a positive cash flow -- right
away!
Or you can finance your GeoExchange® comfort system using low interest
financing plans available through WaterFurnace dealers, electric utilities, local banks or other lending
institutions.
Another consideration is total heating, cooling and domestic hot water operating costs. The GeoExchange®
system is the total comfort system with lowest overall cost. With most conventional systems, overall operating
costs are based on the efficiency of more than one system--a fossil fuel furnace, central air conditioner,
and a water heater. With a GeoExchange® system, all operations are handled
by one system, assuring that efficiency and savings are achieved in all areas.,
In
addition, system maintenance and life span should not be overlooked. For instance, conventional systems
frequently require regular maintenance for each unit -- the furnace, the air conditioner, and the water
heater. However, a WaterFurnace GeoExchange® system requires little or no
maintenance beyond periodic checks and filter exchanges.
When faced with the purchase of a new heating, cooling and water heating system, you have two choices:
either burn money with a conventional system or save it with a GeoExchange®
system.
