- A U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study discloses that geothermal systems have the lowest life-cycle costs of any other heating and cooling system marketed today.
- Maintenance spending is remarkably lower with geothermal than with standard central HVAC systems mainly because geothermal systems have very few moving machine parts and require very little maintenance anyway.
