Benefits of Geothermal Heat Pump Systems


If you’re investigating an energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly way to heat your home, geothermal heat pump systems offer many benefits and advantages to homeowners. Not only do they allow you to maintain comfortable temperatures in winter and in summer, these systems reduce your dependence on fossil fuels, which are used to provide home heat by other types of heating systems, such as a gas or electric furnace. Below are some of the major benefits of using a geothermal heat pump system in your home.



Geothermal Heat Pump Systems fit any home

It doesn’t matter if you are planning to build a new home, or have been enjoying your home for years; a geothermal heat pump system can be installed either way. For a new home, a heat pump system design can be configured from the get-go. For older homes, a geothermal system can be retrofitted to your current dwelling, and often use the same duct work which is already installed. Geothermal heat pump systems take up less space compared to a furnace, allowing you to use the square footage for other needs.

Geothermal Heat Pump Systems provide excellent comfort

You can expect much more out of your heat pump system than just a comfortable temperature. A geothermal system produces less operating noise than traditional HVAC systems, so you’re less likely to be bothered. They also offer improved humidity control, which will help your home feel more comfortable all year long.

Geothermal Heat Pump Systems are durable

While the traditional furnace only has a life expectancy of about 12 years on average, a geothermal heat pump lasts approximately 20 years, or more! The underground loop system your heat pump uses is constructed to last for many years as well. Heat pump systems are easy to maintain, and regular maintenance improves their service life.

Thank you for explaining that a geothermal heat pump system can last for twenty years or more. My husband and I need to replace our furnace, and we've been looking at our option this week. We'll be sure to contact a geothermal contractor and see if this could work in our home.
