Why You Should Consider GeoThermal Heating & Cooling
If you live in Englewood, Florida chances are you have heard of geothermal heating and cooling — it’s popular with homeowners and owners of commercial buildings and community swimming pools. Have you ever wondered, though, why you should consider geothermal heating and cooling for your home, business or swimming pool?
There are very valid reasons to so. Yes, it is a bigger expense to have geothermal installed, but the return on your investment (ROI) cannot be dismissed. Pricing of geothermal units are impacted by various factors including:
- Where you live
- The topography and rock content of your yard
- The size of the unit you need
All those factors taken into consideration, geothermal heating and cooling is one of the most cost efficient technologies into which you can invest. We have compiled a list of the top five reasons you should consider geothermal heating and cooling. We think you will agree, it definitely warrants a call to our office to talk with one of our experienced geothermal installation experts.
- It’s environmentally-friendly. For those interested in reducing their carbon footprint and using less energy to heat and cool, geothermal is the way to go. The system utilizes energy from the earth — an endless suply — all while reducing the consumption of fossil fuels like gas or oil.
- Save money on energy usage. When you install a geothermal heating and cooling unit you will generate three or more “units of home comfort for every unit of energy used to operate the system.”
- Less energy use. A geothermal heating and cooling system, as compared to an air source heat pump, can save you up to 45% on your utility bills and energy usage. That will certainly add up!
- ROI. Yes, you will probably pay more up front for a subterranean geothermal system, the pipes that are laid in the ground will last for close to half a century (50 years) and will require little to no maintenance. The system itself, will last more than two decades — again with minimal maintenance. The lifespan of a geothermal unit means it will pay for itself and the investment you’ve made more than once over the life of the unit.
- Zap humidity. Any Florida resident will tell you, “it’s not the heat… it’s the humidity” that they dread. When you use a geothermal heating and cooling unit it helps control humidity in your house or commercial space. Controlling the humidity means you will feel drier and be impacted less by the humidity in your home. Drier air simply feels cooler and when you’re controlling the humidity you can lower the thermostat; another money-saving benefit of geothermal.
- Any yardspace is viable. Don’t despair if you have a small plot of yard. You can have a geothermal heating and cooling system installed even in a small space. If the land you own is limited, the underground pipes can be placed vertically. No matter if you have currently have a home and want to make a switch, if you’re building a home or if you’re a commercial building owner looking for a way to save money — and the environment — check into geothermal heating and cooling.
Bonus reason #1: A geothermal heating and cooling system is quieter than a standard air conditioning unit because you aren’t running an outdoor condensing unit.
