INSTALLATION OF GEOTHERMAL SYSTEMS
A geothermal system has several variances for installation. In laymen's terms, a piping system is placed either vertically or horizontally underground. Vertically requires further digging down below while a horizontal system will require going further out to place the piping for the unit. The system will then use the consistent temperature of the earth to warm or cool a solution such as water that will then be used to power a heat pump for the temperature you need in the home. The entire process is quite interesting and requires no fuel to operate so the unit type is quite energy efficient.
HOW DO GEOTHERMALS SAVE MONEY?
The initial cost of a geothermal system is several thousands of dollars, usually into the 15,000 and above based on where you live. This is a very high cost but the value of the unit pays for itself over time. Once you get past the initial cost of the system, you will find the unit saves you on repair cost, operating cost and energy efficiency.
Because the unit does not require a fuel source, you have an added safety means in place. You do not require the purchase of fuel as well as have the safety hazard that is involved with heating or cooling the home. You also find that because the unit uses the temperature of the earth, less energy is involved in the cooling or heating process. This means you will spend less each month to provide your home with much needed comfort. Many home owners have seen a 30 to 50 percent decrease in how much is actually spent on the monthly electricity bill which can greatly add up over time.
According to the United States Department of Energy, the heating and cooling cost in the home are the second greatest expense for households and this can attribute to debt and major cut backs with the home budget. With the installation of this unit type, home owners can cut back on the amount spent to then use the monies saved for actual savings or other areas in which the money is needed.
Tax credits and incentives are also available based on where you live. With cash back rebates or incentives, you will be able to save money with the initial purchase which can be a life saver when trying to pay for the more expensive unit. Your local HVAC Company will be able to provide you with information on tax breaks or incentives to purchase such unit types. At All Climate, the team of technicians have the knowledge and experience to provide you with information on geothermal systems and how the unit type can be of benefit to your home.
