If your Olive Branch home’s an older one, or even if it’s relatively new, and you’re unhappy with the HVAC system you’ve got, 2018 could be the year –
should be the year – you update to geothermal. Prices won’t likely ever be better. And, if you need assistance with the up-front financial outlay, interest-free loans are typically available to homeowners from manufacturers, vendors, and installation contractors. You’d be wise to speak
now with Air & Heat Service Co., the Olive Branch geothermal specialists, about what financing options you may have – that is, if you’re earnest about upgrading to a geothermal heating and cooling system this year. Air & Heat Service Co. can also inform you as to whether or not any current state or local homeowner programs might offer financial relief of some kind. Tax credits may be applicable too. After all, geothermal heating and cooling systems are definitely an enhancement in energy efficiency over traditional HVAC systems.
There’s some good news, too, about the up-front cost of a geothermal upgrade. First, a newly installed geothermal system will significantly lower your home’s utility bills. In no time at all, you could see savings of anywhere from 20 to 50 percent on cooling – and 30 to 60 percent on heating! Eventually, then, your geothermal system will pay for itself. And you’d better believe it, you’re going to own your geothermal system for a very long time.
Bear in mind that an ordinary furnace, even when well maintained, might last maybe 15 years. A geothermal system? It’s mechanics are designed and built to last up to 30 years. And the ground loop dug into your yard is good for 50 years at least!
So … preliminary cost considerations aside, a geothermal heating and cooling system is a wiser choice for you from pretty much any perspective. Among its strongest attributes are …
- having a perpetually – and easily – renewable source of energy, directly from the earth,
- being an efficient “two-in-one” system – heating and cooling [[capability wrapped in one trim package
- reduced operating costs – since geothermal systems require so little electricity,
- an unusually long lifespan – as mentioned previously,
- appreciably quieter operation than traditional heating and cooling systems – since most of your geothermal system is buried beneath your lawn, and the elements of it that aren’t aren’t put through the same stresses and strains,
- lower repair costs – except for an unobtrusive schedule of inspections and changing or cleaning filters, you have fewer maintenance needs with a geothermal system since its relatively few parts are merely transferring heat from the ground, not producing it,
- cleaner and safer operation – unlike combustion appliances, geothermal systems carry no threat of carbon monoxide poisoning, instead producing clean, gloriously breathable air, and, of course,
- heating and cooling capabilities that rank among the most environmentally friendly of any system being sold today – since, in the winter, a geothermal system is only transferring heat from the ground into your home, and in the summer, it’s removing heat to keep your home cool.
So why hold out? Make this the year you retrofit and refresh your home with a geothermal heating and cooling system. Talk to Air & Heat Service Co. now about the proper way to go about it!
