In the past few years, we’ve experienced intolerably hot, muggy summers and extremely frigid, bitter winters. Every time the temperature spikes up or down each season, our energy bills tend to jump up. If you feel like your heating and air conditioning simply is not efficient enough, we recommend that you consider investing in a geothermal heating and cooling system. Here’s why:
Green and Efficient
Geothermal heating and cooling systems utilize water pipes in a series of loops underground to efficiently heat and cool your home. During the winter, the ground acts as a heat source and water absorbs the heat and is compressed by a heat pump and then distributed throughout the building for heat. This process is so efficient that it can be over four times cheaper to run than gas furnaces! During the summer, this procedure is reversed and the ground is used to draw heat and humidity out of the home. Cool air is then circulated throughout the home, making it a very efficient cooling system. This makes cooling your home much less expensive than traditional methods.
Convenient
Another reason why geothermal systems are great for the home is the convenience. They operate very quietly so you don’t have to worry about being disturbed when concentrating on something important in the home. They are also compatible with most thermostat systems and are easy to use. Geothermal systems do not use any natural resources, so you do not have to worry about different energy bills to heat your home. With a geothermal system, you will never again have to worry about the increasing fuel prices to make your home more comfortable.
