Most people fear the unknown. That is probably why most households still do not even consider using geothermal heat pumps for their heating and cooling needs. But what if I told you that GHPs are not only more effective than traditional systems, but also more efficient?
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), geothermal systems are “the most energy efficient, environmentally clean, and cost effective space conditioning systems available today.”
Now you’re listening.
Facts About Geothermal Heat Pumps
- GHPS use the Earth’s heat and converts it into a source of energy. This proves to be much more energy efficient, because the temperature beneath the Earth’s surface remains at a constant 50°F, unlike the outside air, which constantly fluctuates. This allows the geothermal heat pump to produce higher efficiencies, ranging from 300 percent to 600 percent efficiency.
- Geothermal heat pumps can be enhanced to heat and cool a house depending on the tubes installed.
- Geothermal heat pumps are a much healthier option than traditional air conditioning units. Traditional units circulate the same air over and over. With GHPs, the air will be clean and ventilation would be constantly running.
- Geothermal heat pumps are extremely durable and can last even longer than an air conditioning device.
- The energy saving properties of GHPs can earn a user their money back from 5 to 10 years of use.
