Geostar Geothermal Units for Hilton Head
Thanks to the unique way Hilton Head geothermal units operate, they provide a host of exciting benefits to you and our environment.
Amazing Energy Efficiency: Geothermal heat pumps don’t create energy, they simply move it. Only a small amount of electricity is used to circulate heat to and from your home. This allows GeoStar units to provide $4 of heating for every $1 worth of electricity used, while current “high-efficiency” fossil fuel furnaces provide only 96¢. Our units are 4 times more efficient than any conventional furnace!
Cost Effectiveness: Though geothermal systems can be more expensive to purchase up front, the cost difference will be returned through drastically lower energy bills. Most GeoStar owners see savings up to 60% on their utility bills!
Greater Comfort: GeoStar units run only at the level needed by using variable speed motors. They slowly ramp up to speed rather than “roaring” to life like traditional units - resulting in even, consistent comfort. You won’t experience the large temperature fluctuations associated with other heating and cooling solutions.
Quiet: With our units, there’s no noisy outdoor equipment to disturb the peace or clutter your yard. Some homeowners have reported checking the unit to see if it’s running.
Longer Life and Reliability: Because GeoStar units don’t require any outdoor equipment, they are protected from the rain, snow, environmental contaminants and abuse that hinders the efficiency of traditional air conditioners and heat pumps.
Environmentally Friendly: Geothermal units don’t burn any fossil fuels or create carbon monoxide. This reduces our dependence on foreign oil while it works to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One GeoStar geothermal unit is the environmental equivalent of taking two cars off the road forever. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says geothermal heat pumps are the most environmentally friendly and cost effective way to condition our homes.
