Reasons to Consider Geothermal Installation


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.
