Geothermal heat systems can be installed in existing homes.
Often times, they are a great alternative to oil, propane, or natural gas. When
it’s time to replace your current heating system, switching to geothermal can
definitely help you save.
Homeowners who switch from oil, propane, or natural gas to a
geothermal heating system are overall very pleased with the results. Besides
from just heating your home, a geothermal heating system also offers cooling
and hot water assist, which can further
reduce your costs. The hot water assist package can save homeowners about 60
percent on their domestic water heating. In the wintertime, geothermal heat
systems offer comfortable, even heat throughout the home.
When switching to a geothermal heat system, your home may
require a few alterations to maximize the efficiency of the new system. For
instance, duct work will be evaluated and may be sealed to prevent air leaks
which reduce the efficiency of the new system. Upgrades may need to be made to
your electrical service to ensure the load created by the ground source heat
pump can be handled.
When it’s time to replace your current heating system, consider replacing it with a geothermal heat system. Smith Sustainable Design can show you how switching to geothermal heat can be a benefit to your comfort and your wallet.
