With concerns about global warming increasing each day, many homeowners are looking for sustainable heating options. Thankfully, for Rockford, MI, and surrounding area residents, King Water Wells is experts in geothermal drilling. Geothermal drilling allows for a geothermal heat pump to warm your home naturally, and here are six advantages to geothermal energy we think you’ll love.
Saves Money
Let’s start with the number one reason why many people opt to use geothermal energy: it saves money. You won’t pay for the geothermal heating because the heat source is found naturally underground. With a geothermal heat pump, you no longer have gas or electric bills to heat your home and water.
Convenience
The only person you rely on for your home’s heating is you with a geothermal heat pump. The system runs independent of municipal or private heating companies, which means you’re in complete control. You aren’t subject to municipal gas shut-offs. You won’t need to worry about running out of propane.
Underground System
A geothermal heating pump is primarily underground, which means it’s out of sight and out of mind. The system will warm your home in the winter and cool it in the summer without noise. Plus, the unit boosts your home’s aesthetics because it cannot be seen. There’s no intrusion with a geothermal pump.
Less Reliance
As briefly touched upon above, a geothermal heat pump releases you from the strong arm of the gas company. You can heat and cool your home independent from gas and electric companies. This gives you the freedom to use that money elsewhere and increases your home’s overall value.
Safety
Gas and electric heating sources are dangerous. Gas can release toxic carbon monoxide into your home and electric heating systems can catch fire. Geothermal heating pulls natural heat from the ground to warm your home. It doesn’t use any flammable heating source. It’s literally natural ground warmth.
Sustainable
Finally, geothermal heating and cooling are sustainable, which reduces your carbon footprint and increases the equity in your home. You can make your geothermal heating system even more sustainable by powering it with solar panels. This dual approach is 100-percent environmentally-friendly.
