How much do you know about geothermal? Isn’t that the stuff that comes in ice packs? Or maybe the orange goo that oozes from volcanoes?
Nope. We’ll let the U.S. Department of Energy explain: “A geothermal heat pump uses the constant below-ground temperature of soil or water to heat and cool your home.”
Sounds cool, but as you might expect, these systems don’t just spring forth from the ground, inviting builders to set up shop. Rather, they require careful planning. Over time, they provide significant benefits to homeowners – and that means more money in your pocket.
According to the Energy Department and the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, benefits of geothermal systems include:
- Initial investment recouped in as few as two years
- Up to 50% less electricity use compared to conventional heating and cooling systems
- Reduced energy use and fewer emissions
