A single piece of equipment has the ability to heat and cool a home while providing some or all of a home’s hot water as well. Geothermal systems can save 30 to 70 percent on monthly bills. During the heating cycle, the fluid circulates through the loop, extracting heat from the ground. The heat energy is transferred to the geothermal unit. The unit compresses the extracted heat to a high temperature and delivers it into the home through a normal duct system or radiant heat system.
“With the cost of heating and cooling homes continuing to climb, consumers are financing the costs of energy-saving measures in their homes, both new and existing. When weighing the initial cost against the energy savings and tax advantages, the cost of the upgrades in the end are small. In some cases, the savings offset the cost in a short period of time,” he said.
