Understanding Geothermal Heating and Cooling
Although geothermal HVAC has been around for many years there are still many people who have never heard about this method of heating and cooling a home. Also known as ground source HVAC, this is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to heat or cool your home.
Geothermal HVAC systems use a system of pipes that can be installed either vertically or horizontally beneath the ground. During the winter, the earth’s relatively constant temperature heats the fluid inside these pipes, which is used to heat the air in your home. During the summer, the heat is removed from your indoor air by the evaporator coil and sent underground to be released.
Benefits of a Geothermal HVAC System
One of the biggest benefits for homeowners is the reduced cost of heating and cooling their homes. Although some electricity is still needed to run the geothermal heat pump, it’s a fraction of what a traditional system uses. If you’re concerned about the environment, you might want to take a close look at this technology. It impacts the environment significantly less than most other kinds of HVAC systems.
Perhaps the biggest benefit is the lifespan of geothermal systems. The pipes last on average about 50 years, and the heat pump components usually last for more than 20. And when it’s time to replace the system, today’s technology makes it considerably easier and less disruptive than decades ago.
