Contact DMEA at (970) 249-4572 or (970) 874-8081 and speak with one of our Energy Services Specialist about the benefits of installing a GeoExchange system in your home.
GeoExchange is the most energy-efficient, earth-friendly way to heat and cool your home. The technology relies on the year-round temperature of the earth to heat and cool homes. The systems look much like a traditional furnace except for a water-filled loop pipe that is buried in your yard, horizontally or vertically.
Key Benefits
· Most energy efficient and environmentally friendly system available, according to the U.S. Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency
· Most comfortable heating/cooling system available with low noise, no drafts, and even temperatures
· Healthiest heating/cooling system available because constant air movement allows for thorough filtration
Energy Savings
· Most cost-effective heating/cooling system available, with:
o Lowest operating cost
o Lowest life cycle cost (less maintenance, fewer replacements, etc.)
· Up to 70% less expensive to operate than propane furnace
· Up to 50% less expensive to operate than natural gas furnace
· Energy savings potential varies depending on
o Home size, design and construction quality
o Existing/alternative heating and cooling system
Environmental Benefits
· For every unit of energy into a GeoExchange system, 3 additional free units of energy are transferred from the ground.
· Even when electricity is generated by coal, the total pollution from burning coal per unit of heat in the home is less than from a conventional furnace.
System Investment
· DMEA's Loop Tariff eliminates about half the total upfront cost
· 30% uncapped federal tax credit
· Co-op cash rebates up to $1,050
· Save $1,000 - $4,000 every year vs. propane, electricity, or natural gas
. Out-of-pocket installation cost as low as $5,350
. Easy, low-cost financing available
. Heat and cool your home with geo - No more swamp cooler!
Ideal Candidates
· New or existing home over 1,500 square feet with an acre of land
· Existing homes with crawl space and accessible attic
· Current energy bills of over $800 per year
