Going Geothermal
Geothermal power is an environmentally sensitive energy alternative that may be your winning solution. Drawing on the earth’s fairly constant ground temperatures, heat is transferred from the earth to your house in the winter and vice-versa in the summer.
Unlike conventional heating and cooling systems, your geothermal system:
- Is not exposed to the elements; it’s mostly indoors and underground
- Has few moving parts to wear out, break down, or maintain
- Operates without any noisy outside condenser fan unit
- Performs consistently regardless of outside air temperatures
Save with Geothermal
Installing a geothermal system is now more affordable than ever -- with a $375 per ton incentive payment from OG&E. For most residents this equates to a $1,500 incentive payment (based on a 4-ton unit). Combine this with a Federal tax credit of 30 percent for residential and 10 percent for business customers, and the savings keep adding up.
In fact, you’ll realize an immediate return on investment in the form of greater comfort and savings up to 60% on your heating, cooling and water heating costs. That’s every month for the next 20 or 30 years. A 2,000 square-foot home can be heated and cooled for about $1 a day.
If all this sounds good to you, find out more by contacting OG&E's Geothermal Program Manager at 405.553.3961.
