A study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency showed that geothermal systems have the lowest life-cycle cost of all heating systems currently available. Lower maintenance costs and longer life expectancy of geothermal units should certainly be taken into consideration when determining a geothermal system’s total cost and savings.

Difference between geothermal heating and cooling and geothermal energy?
Geothermal heating and cooling does not use geothermal energy (natural energy source derived from heat found in earth’s core such as magma), but rather ground source energy. Sometimes you may hear geothermal heat pumps called ground source heat pumps. Geothermal heat pump technology relies on the sun to heat the ground at the earth’s surface, rather than the earth’s core to heat it from below. Geothermal heat pumps use the sun’s energy enabling geothermal systems to be a viable heating and cooling system virtually anywhere. The environment and climate in Colorado Springs is ideally suited for effective use of geothermal heating systems.
How Does Geothermal Work?
Geothermal systems use the sun’s energy. The earth absorbs an amazing 48% of the sun’s energy, leaving a fairly constant underground temperature between 45° and 70° Farenheit.
A water solution flows through pipes buried in the ground (ground loop system) absorbing heat from the earth in the winter and moving it to the geothermal system inside the house. Once there, the heat is condensed and transferred to the air that is circulated throughout the home, providing warmth when needed.
