From
its cost to its small environmental footprint, this alternative source of
energy provides many great unexpected benefits. There are many different reasons you should
consider geothermal
installation for your Twin Cities home and we’d like to provide you with an
outline to give you a better understanding of this fantastic energy source. If find
you have some questions about geothermal installation and the role it can play
in your household, do not hesitate to give Hartmann Well Drilling a call.
Defining geothermal
energy: Geothermal
energy is energy generated by heat stored below the Earth’s surface. Geothermal
heat pumps then harness this energy to create heating and cooling for your
home.
What geothermal
energy is used for:
When you get a ground source heat pump installation, you will not just enjoy
heat. You will also get a new source of electricity. It can even provide
cooling for your home as well!
Environmental
benefits:
Geothermal installation uses about 25 to 50% less electricity than conventional
heating and cooling systems. And, there is no combustion required! Meaning, they
don’t emit any greenhouse gases like carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Variety of geothermal
heat pump to choose from: There are several
different geothermal systems to choose from including horizontal systems,
vertical systems, closed-loop systems, open-looped systems and systems that use
a direct heat exchange. An expert at Hartman Well Drilling can let you know
what their many differences and benefits are.
Economics of
geothermal installation: Because geothermal heat pumps are transferring heat and
not creating it, this makes the system incredibly efficient.
They’re easy to
maintain: When
you choose geothermal installation you can expect low maintenance. Their total
maintenance costs are usually 1/3 below that of conventional systems.
The endurance of a
geothermal installation: Geothermal energy is a continuous source of heat and
energy, so you will never have to worry about it running out. Ground source heat pumps have inside
components that will work for about 25 years, and the ground loop will work for
more than 50 years.
Geothermal
installations are quiet: Once your geothermal installation is complete, you
will notice the system is much quieter than conventional heating and cooling
systems.
