Geothermal Heat Pumps Are Great Investments



Want to invest for your heating and cooling system?

The geothermal heating or cooling system is a good choice for an excellent cooling system in your homes offices or other businesses. It can give your more benefits in so many ways.

Geothermal heating and cooling system utilizes the earth’s natural capabilities in converting temperature from hot to cold and vice versa. It doesn’t need any fossil fuel usage for the heating process so it doesn’t emit any unwanted gases that can be harmful to people and the mother earth. These makes them energy-saving and earth-friendly heating and cooling systems.

The initial investment for a geothermal heating pump can be a bit expensive than other conventional heating or cooling systems as it requires proper drilling and longer pipes. But, the accrued costs can be recovered in time as you get more savings on your monthly electricity bills. So in the long run, you’ll still get to have more savings compared to the other conventional systems.   

The cost of the installation depends on the loop you choose which is determined through your area and location. There are three types of loops that can be used: the vertical loop which should be employed when you have a limited area, the horizontal loop if you have the required extra area/space available outside your house, it is the cheapest choice for geothermal system using underground pipes, and the pond or lake loop, the cheapest of all options, this will only be applied if you have a pond or lake near your vicinity.

With the help of skilled and trained installation contractors, you will be able to enjoy the benefits that these geothermal heating and cooling systems has to offer. With the right people working on it, it will be very convenient on your part and it can assure you of a well done  job and avoid the occurrence of delays and performance issues.

If you are looking for a good investment then this is it. The cost of the installation may be bigger than the conventional system but if you look at it as a long time investment, you would agree that geothermal heat pump system is more advantageous and probably the best investment you’ll ever get in heating and cooling systems.

Here are the benefits you will get with geothermal heating and cooling systems:
  • Energy saving. Geothermal heating and cooling systems don’t need fossil fuel to produce heat; it gets heat from a natural source: sun, water and earth. This simply means that it saves more energy consumptions and low monthly electricity bill for the years ahead.
  • Low maintenance cost. These heating and cooling systems are unlike others. Their maintenance requirements are minimal because their parts are well protected from the weather conditions outside. This is one advantage people would like to have with their systems, lesser things to worry about. The indoor parts of the system can last from 20 – 25 years and the underground loops for more than 40 years
  • Fresher air. These geothermal heat pumps never use fossil fuels so there are no air pollutants emitted by the system. This benefits both humans and the planet earth. You’ll be assured of a healthy environment.
  • No annoying sounds. They sound just like your refrigerators. If they are just installed right then you will not worry about any irritating noise or rumbling sounds.

Geothermal heating and cooling system are really quite an investment; cost efficient, low energy usage and earth-friendly.

So, what more can you ask for? Make your move and invest on geothermal heat pumps today and live a comfortable and healthy lifestyle.

Earth-Friendly HVAC Is A Good Investment




Climate change has been affecting the earth’s weather since the past years. We felt the highs and lows in temperature during summer and winter days. These are just two of the repercussions of negligence and abuse to our environment. With that said, you and I are now experiencing the horrifying effects that we have cause our planet.

Fortunately, the disaster people have experienced nowadays brought awareness and consciousness to most of us if not all to be more considerate and to act now in helping save mother earth. Even technology considers earth-friendly inventions so as not to destroy our environment.That is why scientists and engineers have researched and studied hard to come up with technologies that can benefit us and the planet earth at the same time.

With the help of the innovations in technology, (HVAC) heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system has become more earth-friendly.  They have become energy saving, cost saving and have a very comfortable performance. New models and designs have been made to make you more comfortable in your homes and offices.

New models of Hvac are no longer using Freon R22, instead they use a cooled refrigerant fluid.  They are made not to depend so much on fossilized fuels and are more cost and energy efficient. Geothermal hvac is one of the solutions they have come up with to provide us with the cooling and heating needed during summer and winter by using the earth’s natural ability to cool down or increase air temperature.

Geothermal hvac system uses the earth’s ability to change the temperature of both air and water. A well is dug into the ground,  then copper tubing is installed for air to circulate. Earth will be the source of heat. A cooled refrigerant fluid is then used to absorb the heat. Its function depends on whether you prefer a cool or hot air.

Having a geothermal hvac is like investing in a new business. You may spend big as an initial capital but you will be able to get the payback in years depending on how big you spent because of the size of the room area you intend to fill with hot or cold air. You will surely get what you spent for by means of gaining savings from monthly electricity bills compared to the conventional hvac system.

The process of cooling and heating with geothermal hvac system is simple. In cooling, hot air is sent to the ground and circulates up as cooled air. Heating is the reverse process, cold air is absorbed down to the earth and circulates back as hot air. This is one of the wonders that earth can do. It can turn the temperature around.

Geothermal hvac system is just one of the hvac systems that are earth-friendly. Many of the new models of hvac systems that are non-geothermal are also manufactured to be environment-friendly, cost saving and energy efficient. New models are usually cost and energy saving because of the latest innovation in technology. Manufacturers constantly come up with more efficient models after their previous products.
