With our cold
winters and sometimes hot summers here in Minnesota, you may wonder
if there’s a more efficient way to heat and cool your home. Well,
there is! It’s called geothermal, and it’s an efficient and
natural way of regulating your home’s temperature. We will provide
some reasons why you may want to consider geothermal
installation for your New Prague home.
Geothermal
installation allows you to use the power of the earth beneath you. If
you are one that wants to be more eco-friendly, geothermal is the way
to go. It’s much more environmentally friendly than the
alternatives. You can heat and cool your home without using much
electricity or emitting greenhouse gases of any sort like carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide. There is no combustion required! This
means you will not have to worry about dangerous levels of carbon
monoxide in your home.
It’s possible you
have heard of ground source heat pumps, but you may not be aware that
geothermal installation offers great cooling benefits as well. During
the summer, the geothermal system reverses to cooling mode, where the
building or home is cooled by pulling the heat from within and
placing it in the ground. This process can also create hot water in
the summer and provide hot water savings in the winter.
Geothermal
installation uses about 25-50 percent less electricity than
conventional heating and cooling systems. Once the initial price of
the geothermal heat pump has been paid, you can enjoy cost savings on
your energy bills. Geothermal heat pumps only transfer heat; they
don’t create it, thus making a much more efficient and
cost-effective system.
These systems last
too! The piping from a geothermal installation can last more than 50
years! In addition, very little maintenance is required. The total
maintenance of a geothermal system is typically a third of what’s
spent on conventional systems. With an installation from Hartmann
Well Drilling, you will likely not need to address this area of your
home’s function for decades.
So if you like to
save money on heating and cooling and want to minimize your
environmental footprint, geothermal is a great option to consider. If
