Industries and businesses utilize geothermal systems to for many reasons. The first is tax incentives from the government. The others also concern money. Operating one system for both heating and cooling saves money on any repairs and maintenance.
Once installed, the system is sustainable and uses very little energy to operate the Geothermal Heat Pump in Reno. A full return on the rather high investment is realized in as little as three years. From that point forward, the savings each year are substantial.
Homeowners
More and more homeowners are using geothermal systems. Cost savings are attractive, as are those tax incentives. It is also a way to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and electricity. The switch makes a significant difference in helping the environment and reducing the overall carbon footprint.
Why Consider Geothermal Systems Now
With natural resources dwindling, pricing and accessibility dependent on an unpredictable global political climate, and hackers shutting down electricity grids for fun, there is no better time to seriously consider investing in a geothermal system. The technology has improved greatly, making it possible to install geothermal systems with minimal disruption.
What is Required
The system requires an earth loop, a conventional duct or radiant floor system, and a Geothermal Heat Pump in Reno. The earth loop can be configured in several ways, depending on the space available. Traditional piping commanded a lot of space because the piping looped around a large area and was fairly close to the surface.
Today, the looping can be deeper and placed in narrower spaces. The earth loop can be placed along the side of a home, for example, if there is little yard space. The piping is deeper, so the pump has to be a bit more powerful to extract the heat in the winter and remove hot air from the home in the summer.
What to Know
One system to provide both heat and cooling saves on repairs and maintenance. The ducts have to be kept clean and the pump has to be in excellent working order. There is not much else needed beyond that.
The initial cost of a geothermal system is higher than most other systems. The return is higher and quicker, but the original expenditure is substantial. Many homeowners will require financing for installation. Anyone considering this system can Contact us for a detailed estimate.
