What is Geothermal HVAC?

In short, geothermal HVAC is a great economical solution in Louisville, KY that uses the ground around your property to heat and cool your home. Geothermal heating works by moving temperature-conducting fluid through an underground loop of pipes beneath or near your home. This system is a two-in-one HVAC system, used for both heating and cooling.

Benefits of Geothermal HVAC vs. Traditional HVAC Systems

When comparing geothermal heating and cooling to conventional HVAC systems, geothermal systems come out on top. There are 6 key benefits when comparing geothermal heating and cooling to traditional heating and cooling systems.

  1. Efficiency

When it comes to efficiency, geothermal is the clear winner. HVAC systems are ranked on the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio scale (SEER) that measures their efficiency. Geothermal systems have a SEER of between 15-25. The reason is because this system doesn’t waste electricity by pumping indoor hot air into the already-hot outdoors; instead, it’s easily releasing heat into the cool underground.

  1. Cost

Conventional HVAC systems tend to have a lower upfront cost but higher operational costs, while the reverse is true of geothermal HVAC systems. It is more expensive to install, but operation costs are very low. There are also some federal, state, and utility incentives in Louisville, KY for those who upgrade to geothermal HVAC. These incentives can actually help pay for the system itself.

Geothermal heating and cooling systems can save Louisville, KY homeowners money on their energy bills.

  1. Convenience

Geothermal is pure convenience compared to conventional HVAC. It is only composed of two parts: ground loops and a heat pump. The beautiful simplicity provides both heating and cooling all year long. The convenience of just two parts saves money, space, and headaches.

  1. Maintenance

A geothermal system requires very little maintenance, if any. This is because the system has no exposure to the elements, allowing them to last longer and maintain more efficiency for longer.

  1. Lifespan

A geothermal cooling system pump lasts well over 20 years, and the underground looping system lasts well over 50 years. This is because both parts of the geothermal system are protected and far less likely to suffer seasonal damages due to fluctuating temperatures and abrasive weather because they aren’t stored outside.

  1. Comfort

Geothermal AC systems are quieter than conventional AC, and allow you to relax and enjoy the comfort of steady temperatures inside your home without overworking your AC and listening to a clanging HVAC system all day long.
