Our Services for Real Estate Investors

Enhance Your Property's Value with Geothermal Energy

By transitioning your property to geothermal energy, you significantly increase the long-term value of your investment. Purchasing geothermal energy as a service allows you to do so with zero risk.

 

Increased value without own investment

For the real estate investor, geothermal heating is an excellent way to increase the value of a property immediately and for the long term. For an increasing number of tenants - companies or individuals - a carbon-neutral property or home is an added value for which they are also willing to pay.

The switch to geothermal energy will provide a significant competitive advantage for the real estate investor. In particular, geothermal energy reduces CO2 emission reduction pressures on business properties, increases the attractiveness of the property and improves the E-factor of the property. Switching to geothermal reduces the CO2 emissions of a property by up to 100%.

Geothermal heating as a service - benefits for the real estate investor

Energy Cost Forecasting and Management

  • Stable energy expenses. Planning your heating system's energy costs for the future is straightforward.
  • Immediate cost savings. In regions where district heating is pricey, geothermal offers savings from the first year.

Risk-free

  • From investment costs to operating costs. Avoid a six-figure upfront investment and the risks that come with it. Instead, pay for the energy you use.
  • Invest in something else instead. Free up capital for other, more business-productive uses.

CO2 emission reductions

  • Quickly reduce emissions. Geothermal energy helps investors cut their property's emissions and move closer to carbon neutrality goals. If the electricity used is also zero-emission, emissions can be reduced by 70-100% compared to the baseline.

  • Reporting. We provide our customers with a clear report showing the energy produced by the system, emissions and energy prices.

An attractive option for tenants

  • Customer satisfaction. Tenants appreciate low-carbon energy solutions, which are becoming a crucial factor when selecting an office or home.

  • Comfortable working conditions. A ground-source heating system enhances comfort in the property, especially during the hot summer months.

Benefits from the investor's point of view

  • Geonova designs, finances and implements the geothermal system and then ensures optimal energy production. The property owner pays for the energy used.

  • Opting for geothermal heating as a service is completely hassle-free and safe for property owners. Geonova handles all financial and operational responsibilities, providing a seamless experience throughout the contract.

  • The contract can be concluded for an indefinite period or for a fixed term according to the customer's wishes.
  • If geothermal heating is not possible for the property, for example due to groundwater areas, we use other technological solutions such as water-to-air heat pumps.

Frequently asked questions

If a real estate investor acquires a geothermal system traditionally for its own balance sheet, the investment costs are usually around half a million euros and upwards, depending on the property. On top of this there are maintenance and servicing costs. If purchased as a service, all the above are included in the monthly price.

Many factors affect the accumulation of savings, such as the age of the property, its size, energy consumption and the current energy price. Savings usually start to accrue from the first months of the contract, but within 1-2 years at the latest.

If you buy geothermal heating as a service, Geonova will take care of the service and maintenance of the system, including the costs, as well as the energy production and its optimisation.

The suitability of the plot for geothermal heating will be determined at the outset. Even if it is not possible to drill a sufficient number of energy wells on the plot, it is possible to implement the system with a slightly different sizing and equipment solution.

In our experience, switching to geothermal heating increases the value of the property. It sends a message to tenants and potential investors about leadership, energy independence and strong environmental responsibility.

Geonova will obtain all necessary permits on behalf of the client.
