You may have heard about geothermal energy. This is one way that you can heat your home in the winter and cool your home in the summer using the earth’s natural temperature. Since fall is upon us and winter is just around the corner, King Water Wells would like to talk about the benefits of geothermal energy to keep you toasty warm all winter long.
Green Heating
Heating your home using geothermal energy is heating your home using natural heat found under the earth’s ground surface. This means you will no longer be heating your home using gas or electricity, and this improves your carbon footprint significantly.
Cost Savings
Taking advantage of the earth’s natural heat uses much less electricity than a traditional furnace. Therefore, you will notice significant savings in your utility bills throughout the winter and summer. Geothermal energy can also keep your home cool.
Incentives
With the emphasis on green energy increasing, governments from the local to the federal levels are offering incentives to homeowners who opt to install a geothermal heating system in their homes. This can save you significantly at tax time.
Longevity
About every 10 to 15 years, you need to replace your HVAC system. The geothermal heating system is located inside an underground. This means it is not left to the elements and lasts much longer. In fact, you can expect this heating source to last for decades.
No Sound
Even the best central heating systems make noise. You won’t have any noise with your geothermal heating system. The geothermal heating system does not operate using a condenser. It’s very quiet and noninvasive.
No Carbon Monoxide Risk
Gas furnaces always open your home up to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Electric furnaces can become fire hazards as they age. The geothermal heating system is much safer because it uses the earth’s heat to warm your home, not gas or electricity.
Dehumidify/Purification
Another advantage of a geothermal heating system is that it improves the quality of your indoor air. It helps to dehumidify the air and keeps the air free from dust, pollens, and other irritants. This is very beneficial for family members who suffer from respiratory illnesses.
As you can see, geothermal heating is an excellent heat source for your home. For more information, call King Water Wells in Rockford, MI. We’d be happy to talk with you about this heating source and what it will take to get it installed in your home.
