How Geothermal Systems Work
How Geothermal Systems Work
Usually, the climate of the area you live in is a key factor in what HVAC system to choose because changes in weather and temperature can significantly affect some systems. The ground, however, is naturally effective at temperature regulation. Below the surface of the earth, the temperature is less likely to fluctuate and actually remains quite constant year-round. Geothermal systems take advantage of that consistency by installing specially designed pipes in the ground. An electrically powered heat pump cycles fluid – usually water or refrigerant – through a loop system of underground pipes to pull cooler temperatures during the Summer and warmer temperatures during the Winter. This process transfers heat from ambient air in the building to the ground and vice versa, keeping your house climate and temperature comfortable. Choosing geothermal installation will also help make your home heating system more environmentally friendly and save you money.
Geothermal Systems: Cost-Effective and Durable
Geothermal systems will save you money in the long run because the heat pump is extremely durable and can last 20 years or more, meaning you won’t have to keep up with regular maintenance. You can also get the perfect system for your home size and not have to worry about your heating and cooling needs for a long time. Because a geothermal HVAC system pulls a steady temperature from the Earth, it is proven to be significantly more energy efficient than the usual heat pumps. Don’t hesitate to invest in a geothermal system, and special financing is available for most people. The initial costs of geothermal installation are higher than traditional systems; however, because of the benefits of these systems, there are often tax incentives, grants, and rebates offered by federal, state, and local governments for installing geothermal. Some banks and mortgage companies will even finance your geothermal installation through energy-efficient mortgages, and some electrical utility companies offer financing. These are all good options to look into. If you are ready for a geothermal home system, then contact the geothermal installers at Caniglia Heating and Cooling.
How Much Can You Save with Geothermal Home Heating?
Geothermal systems are extremely reliable and seldom require repairs, ductwork, or component replacements, so you don’t have to worry about maintenance and upkeep like with traditional options. Paired with the efficiency savings you will see in your energy bills, you typically will see an annual total cost savings between 30 to 60%. The Environmental Protection Agency shows that homeowners save 30 to 70% on heating and 20 to 50 percent on cooling costs by using geothermal heat pumps. This translates to anywhere from $400 to $1,500 each year in savings! The payback time for a geothermal HVAC system – meaning the time it takes before your savings actually eclipse your geothermal installation costs – is just 5 to 7 years!
