How Do I Establish Whether Geothermal Heating and Cooling Is Right for My Defiance Home?

If there’s anybody around who still hasn’t heard about the perks of geothermal heating and cooling, you might well ask if they’ve been living underground. Of course, those people would undoubtedly miss the irony of your question, since the source of geothermal heating and cooling lies underground.

At present, though, most Defiance homeowners understand at least something about the rewards of a geothermal HVAC system. More of them are looking into one, too – either as a replacement or upgrade to their current system or as the system they install in that new home they’re having built for them.

Thinking about going geothermal yourself? Well, the benefits certainly are seductive:

• Replacing your old, familiar HVAC system with a geothermal one could help you cut your heating and cooling costs by as much as 80 percent!
• Geothermal heating and cooling systems are amazingly energy efficient. That, plus the fact that they don’t fight the environment, but work with it, make them the most environmentally friendly HVAC systems you could own.
• Considering the options geothermal systems offer – package units, split systems, and duel-fuel systems, first off – you have a better chance of ensuring that the system you select is the most efficient and effective for your Defiance home.
• Geothermal heating and cooling systems are built for generations of trustworthy performance. The fact that they have few parts, require less maintenance, have vertical or horizontal loops installed underground or in ponds or wells, and call for the heat-exchange equipment to be installed indoors, out of the weather, makes a considerable difference.
• A geothermal heating and cooling system can be put in any time of the year. The weather and the temperature are no handicap, and no added fees are charged for “seasonal reasons.”
• Only a teeny, tiny bit of your yard need be taken up by a geothermal heating and cooling system. And what space is needed is unobtrusive; your home and landscaping will lose none of the “curb appeal” you work diligently to keep up.
• Last, but not least, geothermal heating and cooling systems are becoming ever more budget-friendly – even in the (one would hope) temporary absence of federal tax credits and rebates. Advances in system design and manufacturing processes as well as greater competition in the marketplace are what’s helping drive costs down.
