When my fiance & I planned the build of a modern home, both of us considered all different types of heating & cooling systems. We live in an section where a/c is the priority. However, there are a couple of months during the Winter time where heating is also required. We researched gas furnaces, a/cs, boilers, heat pumps, VRFs & ductless split systems. Our hope was to find an option that would keep costs & carbon footprint low while providing for year round comfort. Initially, both of us decided against a geothermal heat pump because of the start-up costs. This type of temperature control is far more high-priced than more conventional systems. However, the more both of us looked into the benefits, the more both of us realized that the bigger investment was worthwhile. The best natural gas gas furnace on the market achieved a 98% AFUE rating, and geothermal systems supply 400% efficiency ratings. The operation truly produces 4 units of energy for every one device necessary to run the heat pump. This is because heat pumps don’t burn fossil fuels. They simply transport heat between the outside & inside of the house. With a geothermal heat pump, the process takes luck of the free & renewable energy source gave by the sun. The system pulls heat energy out of the ground & delivers it inside by way of an underground loop system. During the summer, the operation is reversed. Heat is drawn out of the beach house & sent into the ground. The EPA considers geothermal to be the most environmentally friendly system of temperature control. Another benefit is the ability of the system to produce all of our necessary sizzling water supply. We’ve saved so much currency on heating, cooling & water heating that we’ve recovered the higher start cost in less than more than four years.
