Why is a geothermal heat system right for your home?

Why is a geothermal heat system right for your home
Your home’s HVAC system should be a top priority when it’s time to upgrade, update, or build a new home. Hot water, heating and cooling contribute to about 70 percent of your home’s energy usage, so choosing the right system to handle these needs can yield great savings. Some options can do little to save you energy, and may even increase your utility bills if they are not right for your home.

Geothermal heat systems are an excellent choice for most homeowners. What’s great about these systems is that they offer an efficiency of 400 to 600 percent- try and get that from a gas or oil furnace. Plus, installing a geothermal heat system will allow you to take advantage of the 30 percent federal tax credit. When you install a geothermal heat pump, you may even be able to take advantage of state and local programs which reward homeowners for choosing energy efficient appliances.

Geothermal heat systems can provide many comforts beyond heating. In summer months, your heat pump will reverse to cool your home- no air conditioning unit needed! Depending on the configuration of your system, hot water and floor heating can also be provided by this single system. With one efficient system doing all the work, you’ll open the door to energy savings all year long.

Choosing a geothermal heat system for your home is a green choice. With the power to reduce your heating and cooling bills by up to 70 percent, you’ll also be reducing your home’s contribution to carbon emissions by replacing your old gas and oil powered systems. For homeowners looking for an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional heating and cooling methods, geothermal heat systems are a smart choice.

Geothermal heat systems don’t take up a lot of space. You don’t need a large yard to have a ground loop installed. Plus, the heat pump equipment won’t consume a lot of space inside your home. The underground and indoor installation will also protect you from weather damage, theft, and vandalism.
