Old home or new, if you’re exasperated with the HVAC system you’ve got, 2018 could be the year –
should be the year – you update to geothermal. Prices will surely never be as good again. And, if you need aid with the up-front financial outlay, interest-free loans are typically available to homeowners from manufacturers, vendors, and installation contractors. You’d be wise to consult
now with Denver Geothermal Heating, the Denver geothermal authority, about what financing options you may have – especially if you’re really committed to going with a geothermal heating and cooling system this year. Denver Geothermal Heating can also clue you in as to whether or not any current state or local homeowner programs might offer some kind of financial relief. Tax credits may be available too. After all, geothermal heating and cooling systems are unmistakably a step (or two, or three!)
up in energy efficiency over conventional HVAC systems.
There’s some good news, too, about the initial cost of a geothermal retrofit. First, a freshly installed geothermal system will significantly slash your home’s utility bills. Without delay, you could see savings of anywhere from 20 to 50 percent on cooling – and 30 to 60 percent on heating! In due course, then, your geothermal system will pay for itself. And you’re going to enjoy your geothermal system for a very long time.
It’s generally conceded that a typical furnace, even when well maintained, might last maybe 15 years. A geothermal system? It’s mechanics are designed and fabricated to last up to 30 years. And the ground loop beneath your yard is good for 50 years at least!
So … initial cost considerations aside, a geothermal heating and cooling system is better for you no matter how you look at it. Among its chief advantages are …
- having a perpetually – and easily – renewable source of energy, straight from the earth,
- being an efficient “two-in-one” system – heating and cooling [[capacity bundled in one trim package
- reduced operating costs – since geothermal systems run on so little electricity,
- a terrifically long lifespan – as mentioned above,
- conspicuously quieter operation than run-of-the-mill heating and cooling systems – seeing that most of your geothermal system is buried in the earth, and the components of it that aren’t aren’t subject to the same stresses and strains,
- minor repair costs – aside from a modest schedule of inspections and changing or cleaning filters, you have fewer maintenance necessities with a geothermal system since its relatively few parts are just transferring heat from the ground, not producing it,
- cleaner and safer operation – in contrast to combustion appliances, geothermal systems pose no danger of carbon monoxide poisoning, instead delivering clean, marvelously breathable air, and, of course,
- heating and cooling capabilities that rank among the most environmentally friendly of any system on the market – since, in the winter, a geothermal system is only transferring heat from the ground into your home, and in the summer, it’s removing heat to keep your home cool.
So why hold out? Make this the year you retrofit and renew your home with a geothermal heating and cooling system. Contact Denver Geothermal Heating now about the proper way to go about it!
