If you’re thinking about updating your heating systems, installing geothermal heating is one of the most responsible choices you can make. It’s a reliable, cost-saving HVAC system that combines practicality with quality. To determine if it’s right for your home, you need to understand the heating system and how it works.

What Is Geothermal Heating?

Since the temperature within the Earth remains fairly constant, a geothermal heating system uses it to regulate the temperature above the ground. By installing an indoor pump and some pipes, geothermal heating uses electricity to draw heat from deep underneath the soil and then transfers the heat to the rest of your home, though it can also be used for cooling.

If there’s well water nearby, the geothermal pump can take heat from that as well, returning the water to a septic drain field or a different well when it’s finished.

What Are the Benefits of a Geothermal Heating System?

If you install a geothermal heating system in your home, you’ll find that it’s more efficient than fuel-burning systems. In fact, a good furnace may reach an efficiency level of nearly 100%, but geothermal heating boasts efficiency levels up to 400%. As a result, your energy bills will be lower after installing this heating system.

Geothermal heating is also a flexible system. Whether you want to draw heat from the ground, from well water, or from a combination of the two, the pipes can be directed to accommodate your needs. You can additionally have an HVAC contractor create a “split system” for you, which allows you to have a functioning furnace and geothermal heating system at the same time.

Furthermore, geothermal energy is constantly available and renewable, reducing dependency on oil and the danger of carbon dioxide emissions. That makes geothermal heating greener than other forms of energy. It saves you money and helps the environment, all while regulating the temperature of your home with the utmost efficiency.
