In an earlier blog post, we explained the reasons behind rising HVAC costs for homeowners, noting that waiting to replace or upgrade your HVAC system can end up costing you more in the long run. If you’re looking to maximize cost savings and comfort, consider replacing your current air conditioning and heating equipment with a home geothermal system. Here’s what you need to know:
How Geothermal Energy Works
Geothermal systems use ground source heat pumps to serve as a stable heat source that helps maintain comfortable indoor climates throughout the year. Our team installs an underground loop filled with fluid that captures heat from the earth in the winter and uses is it to provide hot water and keep your home warm. In the summer, the same geothermal heat pump reverses its operation and instead removes heat from your home and uses a fan to circulate cool, filtered air through the home’s ducts to provide relief from the hot climate. Due to this reversable system, geothermal energy enables homeowners to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature no matter the season.
Benefits of Geothermal Systems
- Reduces energy use to save on costs: When you upgrade to a geothermal system, you’ll never again have to pay for heating oil or natural gas. Instead, you’ll be investing in energy efficiency and a system that’s built to last. Plus, now through December 31, 2032, you can receive a 30% federal tax credit for residential ground source heat pump installation. Learn more.
- Year-around comfort: Thanks to variable-speed technology, the capacity of geothermal systems can be modulated to match the heating or cooling load, which not only helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, but also does so more efficiently than traditional HVAC systems, which reduces wear and tear on the system’s individual components.
- Minimal noise: Traditional furnaces and air conditioners tend to be noisy because of how much effort they require to adjust temperatures. A geothermal system however differs in that it uses a stable heat source, allowing it to work less while achieving the same result.
