As a homeowner, one of your primary concerns is maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures without overspending on monthly utility bills. With this in mind, installing a geothermal heating pump is a great option. If you’re exploring alternatives to your existing HVAC setup, here is some insight into this energy-saving system. 

Understanding the Benefits of Geothermal Heating Pumps

What Is a Geothermal Heat Pump?

HeatingDeep underground, temperatures are naturally warmer. Geothermal heating harnesses this natural heat to successfully warm your home. In order for the system to work properly, a technician a will install a stationary appliance and what’s referred to as a ground loop—a system of pipes that draw warm or cool air from the ground. These pumps can be installed when a house is first built or can be added to an existing HVAC system. 

What Are the Advantages of Installing One?

The main advantage of geothermal heating is its efficiency. You’ll depend less on energy to warm and cool your home. As a result, you can enjoy a green environment and save significant dollars on monthly energy bills. In addition to saving money and protecting the environment, geothermal heat pumps are durable and can last upwards of 25 years. The ground loops can last up to 50 years. In comparison, a traditional HVAC unit typically needs to be replaced every 10 to 15 years. While the upfront costs for geothermal heating and cooling may appear high, the longevity and monthly energy savings make the return on investment incredibly attractive.
