Beat the Summer Heat with Geothermal Exchange
Before you head out to buy an inefficient air conditioning unit for your home or business this summer consider replacing it with an environmentally friendly and economical cooling system: a Geothermal Heat Pump! I know what you’re thinking; can a heat pump actually cool my house? Yes! A Geothermal Heating Pump takes advantage of the constant air temperature just below the earth’s surface to cool your home. It circulates the air underground to your house until it reaches the desired temperature. (How exactly does it work?)
Top 5 Reasons to replace an air conditioning unit with a Geothermal Heating Pump:
- If you replace your A/C with a geothermal heat pump you eliminate the need for separate heating and cooling units (How can a heating pump cool my house?).
- Geothermal heating pumps work exactly the same as A/C, but with higher efficiency, saving you money on your monthly gas or electric bill! Compared to central A/C, geothermal heat pumps can deliver 400% of efficiency.(Geothermal Heat Pumps: 400% Efficient).
- The installation cost for central A/C varies from $5,000 to $18,000 which is approximately the same cost for a geothermal heat pump. However, a geothermal heat pump is an investment saving you money in the long run.
- Geothermal systems has a life span of 15 years which is longer than a regular air-conditioning system. And it can be used daily for both heating and cooling purposes.
