The geothermal heat pump is a growing trend among homeowners, with long-term energy and monetary savings offering major advantages over other heat pump options. Use steady underground temperatures to provide quality, reliable heating; it’s an excellent investment proven to pay off. 

If you want to better understand your geothermal heat pump, the experts at Stonington, Connecticut’s premier HVAC company, Duncklee Cooling & Heating provide some helpful advice: 

• Electricity: There is a major difference between a stand-alone heat pump and a comprehensive geothermal system. While the complete system enables heating and cooling without the use of electricity, a stand-alone pump can’t generate any electrical power on its own. Despite this fact, those with a geothermal heat pump will notice substantial utility savings versus other options, with bills reduced by nearly 50%. 
• Major Savings: If you own a large home, you’ll notice the most savings from this innovative heat pump system. Since bigger homes naturally incur expensive bills, you’ll save the most on HVAC services over time. Annual savings can run up to 60% annually, in addition to receiving a federal tax credit for the system’s energy efficiency.
• Heating Water: Are you looking for another way to save? While your pump cools the home during summer months, the hot air removed can be used to heat your water. While this hot water is usually not enough to accommodate all of your household needs, it still helps substantially, and this all depends on family size and how much hot water is commonly used. While you’ll usually require an additional source to meet your hot water needs, you’ll retrieve a considerable amount from the geothermal heat pump alone.
