  • A U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study reveals that geothermal systems have the lowest life-cycle costs of any other heating and cooling system currently sold.
  • Maintenance exexpenditures are noticeably lower with geothermal than with standard central HVAC systems essentially because geothermal systems have relatively few moving machine parts and require relatively little maintenance in the first place.
