What is a Geothermal System?
Geothermal heating and cooling systems, sometimes called geothermal heat pumps, use the Earth’s constant underground temperature to heat and cool a building in Bensalem, PA.
While installing a geothermal system is typically more expensive than a traditional HVAC, they offer many more advantages.
- Energy Efficiency: One of the most significant benefits of a geothermal system is its high energy efficiency compared to an HVAC system. For example, geothermal heat pumps can achieve 300% to 600% efficiency on the coldest days compared to other systems.
- Lower Operating Costs: While a geothermal heating and cooling system is more expensive to install than a traditional HVAC, it requires less energy. Over time, this system can pay for itself from what you save in lower energy costs.
- Environmentally Friendly: Geothermal systems are better for the environment because they don’t rely on fossil fuels for heating and cooling. This reduces greenhouse gases and improves your carbon footprint.
- Longer Lifespans: While a traditional heat pump or furnace can last between 15 and 20 years, a geothermal system can last 50 or more because the components aren’t exposed to the elements and have fewer moving parts.
A heat pump can be more energy efficient and last longer than a traditional HVAC system. Call us for more information.
