Geothermal systems are an ideal choice for heating and cooling your home or business. Across the country, the temperature below the ground hovers between 45 and 75 degrees, and geothermal systems take advantage of this untapped source of energy directly beneath your building.
For Florida Suncoast customers, geothermal heating and cooling is a highly efficient and cost-saving source of heating and cooling. Geothermal energy is readily available and inexpensive once installed. It produces no harmful greenhouse gases and emits no pollutants. It’s vastly less expensive than heating and cooling that uses electricity or fuel and can, for example, cut pool heating costs by 80 percent or more. In the climate of south Florida, using geothermal heating and cooling makes excellent sense.
If alternative energy sources aren’t within the reality of your budget, a high-efficiency air conditioner can and should be your next viable solution to high energy costs and an uncomfortable home. A high-efficiency air conditioner is an efficient, low-cost alternative to higher-priced renewable energy sources and will far outperform a standard, less efficient air conditioner.
Because your home’s heat pump is one of your biggest investments, it’s important to keep it maintained and running at peak efficiency with an annual tuneup. During an annual heat pump tuneup, small issues can be caught and addressed before they become major problems.
Geothermal heating and cooling systems take advantage of the earth’s unvarying underground temperature and utilize it as a free source of heat for your home in winter or a heat sink to disperse heat extracted from your home during summer. Now, geothermal can also take advantage of new horizontal directional drilling.
Geothermal cooling and heating might not be as conventional as a heat pump or air conditioner, but there are plenty of benefits if you choose it for your Florida home. Here are five specific reasons to give geothermal cooling and heating serious consideration:
Geothermal systems have been getting more and more attention in recent years as a boon for the environment, as well as providing a cost-effective way of heating and cooling your home. But many homeowners have questions about the technology that powers these systems, so if you are interested in geothermal heating and cooling, you should take the time to educate yourself.
