There’s some good news, too, about the initial cost of a geothermal upgrade. First, a freshly installed geothermal system will reduce your home’s utility bills appreciably. In no time at all, you could see savings of anywhere from 20 to 50 percent on cooling – and 30 to 60 percent on heating! One day, then, your geothermal system will pay for itself. And you’d better believe it, you’re going to enjoy your geothermal system for a very long time.
Bear in mind that an ordinary furnace, even when well maintained, might last maybe 15 years. A geothermal system? It’s mechanics are designed and fabricated to last up to 30 years. And the ground loop beneath your yard is good for 50 years at least!
So … up-front cost considerations aside, a geothermal heating and cooling system is more advantageous for you no matter how you look at it. Among its chief selling points are …
- having aforever – and easily – renewable source of energy, right from the earth,
- being an efficient “two-in-one” system – heating and cooling [[capability wrapped in one tidy package
- lower operating costs – since geothermal systems use so little electricity,
- an exceptionally long lifespan – as noted previously,
- conspicuously quieter operation than standard heating and cooling systems – seeing that the greater part of your geothermal system is buried beneath your lawn, and the portions of it that aren’t aren’t subject to the same stresses and strains,
- reduced repair costs – except for an undemanding schedule of inspections and changing or cleaning filters, you have fewer maintenance requirements with a geothermal system since its relatively few parts are just transferring heat from the ground, not producing it,
- cleaner and safer operation – in contrast to combustion appliances, geothermal systems carry no threat of carbon monoxide poisoning, instead producing clean, wonderfully breathable air, and, of course,
- heating and cooling capabilities that rank among the most environmentally friendly of any system you could find – since, in the winter, a geothermal system is just transferring heat from the ground into your home, and in the summer, it’s removing heat to keep your home cool.
So why wait any longer? Make this the year you retrofit and revive your home with a geothermal heating and cooling system. Contact Schlatters Plumbing Heating & AC now about the right way to go about it!
