How To Be Energy Efficient And Save Money
Energy efficient and money-saving — those are concepts that home- and business owners in Englewood, Florida are striving for. Have you ever wondered how to be energy efficient and save money on your heating and cooling bills? If you want your home cooled in the summer and heated in the winter in an energy efficient manner, talk with the geothermal professionals from Symbiont Service Corp to uncover ways to achieve both.
Geothermal air conditioning systems provide lower operational and maintenance costs than other systems. When you install a geothermal sysem, the geothermal heat pump taps into the naturally cooler underground temperatures to cool your home or office space. The underground temperatures, in Florida, range from 45 to 70 degrees year-round.
How To Be Energy Efficient And Save Money
How do geothermal systems work?
Geothermal systems utilize underground loops filled with environmentally safe liquid that dispel the heat from your home in the summer and deposit it underground and the ground resorbs it. Geothermal air conditioners are equipped with desuperheaters that can heat swimming pool water in the summer by recycling “waste heat;” this helps lower energy bills.
Florida home- and business owners spend close to 60 percent and of that, close to 10 percent is spent on heating water. Using geothermal air conditioning you will see a marked decrease in your cooling utility bills. A geothermal system can last up to 50 years while a traditional indoor air handling system has a life span of about 25 years.
Aesthetic appeal
When you have a geothermal unit installed you’ll find there are no outdoor compressors taking up yard space and detracting from the aesthetic appeal of your landscape. In fact, very little of the geothermal system is exposed to the elements and this also leads to its increased longevity.
The price of geothermal
Plan to spend more up front for the installation of a geothermal air conditioning system as it will cost you more than a standard air conditioner or an air-source heat pump. The equipment will pay for itself in money you save on operating costs and in many areas of the country the federal government is providing a tax credit against the total cost of the system and its installation. Ask us for information on the potential savings in tax credits.
How do I know geothermal is right for me?
To determine the correct type of geothermal system for your home, commercial building, hotel or commercial swimming pool, you will need to consult with an experienced HVAC contractor who can give you a no obligation quote based on yard size, geology, hydrology and size of the home or unit you’re heating and cooling.
