Before our husband and I built our home, the people I was with and I researched all odd types of heating and cooling systems.
The weather in our section includes unquestionably chilly and snowy winters along with hot and humid summers. The two of us require just about year round temperature control. Heating and cooling add up to about 50% of our household energy draw. The two of us were looking for a method that would minimize our environmental impact and our energy bills. The two of us took care of out oil furnaces, boilers and conventional cooling systems but eventually decided to spend more on a geothermal heat pump. The investment was significantly higher because of the excavation necessary to install the underground loop system. This loop takes advantage of the renewable energy source of energy found below ground, absorbing heat and transferring it into the house. This process avoids the burning of fossil fuels and the production of greenhouse gasses and carbon monoxide. It generates various times the amount of energy as the method needs to operate, achieving a 400% efficiency rating. In the summer, the geothermal method reverses operation to pull heat out of the beach house and create a cooling effect. With a minor substitute, the method produces virtually all of our hot water for free. We’ve saved so much money on our energy bills that we’ve paid for the geothermal method in under multiple years. The two of us also get to love perfect comfort and superior indoor air pollen levels. The Environmental Protection Agency considers geothermal temperature control as the most environmentally friendly choice on the market. The two of us are cheerful to minimize our carbon footprint and do our part to protect our planet.
