The short answer to the titled question is yes, you will. Geothermal energy is an excellent and cost-effective way to heat and cool your home. King Water Wells can handle your geothermal drilling. Here are the benefits of using geothermal energy.
Improved Carbon Footprint
Because geothermal heating and cooling use the natural heat underneath the ground’s surface, you will improve your carbon footprint drastically if you choose to heat and cool your home using this energy source. The system uses very little electricity.
Cheaper to Operate
Because the system uses very little electricity, it is much cheaper to operate than a central heating and air conditioning system or window units. You will see a significant reduction in your utility bills, which will help the system and drilling pay for themselves.
Government Credits
The federal, state and local governments still offer incentives for using geothermal energy in some cases. This could give you either a tax credit for using the energy or another incentive. Plus, the investment boosts the value of your home.
Lasts Longer
You can plan to get about 10 to 15 years of life out of your average HVAC system. It succumbs more quickly to outdoor wear and tear. Your geothermal system is located underground and indoors. As such, it can last for decades.
Quiet Operation
There are no condensing units with geothermal heating and cooling so you won’t hear the system operating. This quiet operation is a refreshing change from noisy window units, space heaters, and outdoor systems.
Safer
Fuel furnaces use combustion to heat the air and this means carbon monoxide. Geothermal systems use the earth’s natural heat, so there is no carbon monoxide poisoning risk with these units. Your geothermal heating and cooling system does not use fossil fuels.
Air Purification
The geothermal system also helps to dehumidify your home and purify the air. This improves your indoor air quality, which is particularly important if you or a family member suffers from allergies or respiratory problems such as asthma or COPD.
Instant Hot Water
Finally, if you choose to have a special connection installed between the system and your hot water heater, you can have hot water instantly whenever you want it. Imagine enjoying a long, hot shower in the morning before work. Sounds heavenly, doesn’t it?
