Are you worried about the cost of electricity, given that we will be experiencing price increases way above inflation in the foreseeable future? (In July 2010 electricity went up by a huge 25.8%, Again! In 24 months time electricity will be DOUBLE the cost it is now!)

Are you concerned about the environment? Are you aware that South Africa has also approached the limit of our readily available energy resources and expansion into new coal fields will have a number of unanticipated consequences for human health, food security and water availability to the nation?

With Heat Pumps between 70 and over 80 per cent of the required heating energy is supplied by renewable energy from the environment. Heat pumps contribute to saving primary energy and cutting down on CO2 emissions. Heat pumps run locally with zero emissions.

Also, in South Africa, it is not the volume of coal that defines our energy limitations, but rather the availability of water to convert that coal into electricity. Against a global rainfall average of 870mm per year, South Africa receives a pitiful 450mm, making it the worlds 30th driest country. It requires one kilogram of coal and two kilograms of water to generate one kilowatt hour of electricity, but this also emits a large volume of sulphur that has devastating effects in other parts of the economy.

If this makes you pause and reflect on what you should be doing to assist with regard to the environment and energy, and the need to save money on energy consumption, then you have come to the right place. GeoPlus has a vision to find and offer cutting edge, cost efficient practical solutions to these pressing issues.

One of these solutions is a passive geothermal Heat Pump. Below is the environmental savings per year estimated if you use our residential heat pump unit to heat your water, compared to a geyser using a 4kW resistance element.
