Perhaps you’re considering harnessing the power of clean energy for your Cave Junction, OR, home. Geothermal HVAC systems do this very efficiently by using the natural energy found deep within the Earth. There are several advantages to owning a geothermal HVAC system; let’s explore four of them.
High Energy Efficiency
Geothermal HVAC systems utilize the consistent temperature of the Earth at 50+ feet below the surface without the need for fossil fuels. The Earth’s energy does the job of transferring warm air from your home in summer and cool air to your home in winter. You may notice a reduction of up to 50% in cooling costs during the hot summer months compared to a conventional HVAC system.
Environmentally Friendly
A geothermal heat pump system is a renewable source of energy that uses only the ground’s natural heat. While the system doesn’t use gas or oil, it consumes little electricity to power the pumps that move the air inside your home. This source of energy doesn’t emit greenhouse gasses or have a large carbon footprint.
Geothermal HVAC Systems Operate Quietly
Without an outdoor condensing unit, a geothermal HVAC system doesn’t generate any noise outside your home. You also won’t hear the underground loops. This affords you and your neighbors a more peaceful outdoor experience in the summer.
Longer Lifespan With Less Maintenance
As mentioned above, the geothermal equipment takes care of both cooling and heating without the need for an outdoor unit. Fewer components make this type of system easier to maintain. The buried loops have a lifespan of 50 years and beyond, while the indoor heat pumps have an expected life cycle of up to 25 years.
