How to Calculate Geothermal Savings

Geothermal heat pumps use stable underground temperatures to heat and cool your home much more efficiently than conventional systems.

Formula

Geothermal Cost = Current Cost * (Current Efficiency / Geothermal COP)

Savings = Current Cost - Geothermal Cost

A geothermal system with a COP of 4 delivers 4 units of heating for every 1 unit of electricity, compared to a gas furnace at about 0.95 efficiency.

Ejemplo Resuelto

A home spending $2,500/year heating and $800/year cooling, switching from a furnace (COP 1) to geothermal (COP 4).

  1. Current total: $2,500 + $800 = $3,300/year
  2. Geothermal cost: $3,300 * 1 / 4 = $825/year
  3. Annual savings: $3,300 - $825 = $2,475
  4. Savings percentage: $2,475 / $3,300 = 75%
