How Do I Know Whether Geothermal Heating and Cooling Is Right for My Scranton Home?

You might well ask someone who still doesn’t know about geothermal heating and cooling if they’ve been living underground for a few decades. Of course, that person would undoubtedly miss the irony of your question, since the source of geothermal heating and cooling lies underground.

Nowadays, though, most Scranton homeowners know at least a little about the advantages of a geothermal HVAC system. More of them are mulling one over, too – either as a replacement or upgrade to their current system or as the system they install in that new home they’re constructing.

Considering switching to geothermal yourself? Well, the benefits certainly are seductive:

• Replacing your conventional HVAC system with a geothermal one could help you slash your heating and cooling costs by as much as 80 percent!
• Geothermal heating and cooling systems are extraordinarily energy efficient. That, coupled with the fact that they work with the environment, not against it, make them the most environmentally friendly HVAC systems available today.
• Thanks to the options geothermal systems offer – package units, split systems, and duel-fuel systems, for starters – you can better insure that the system you select is the most efficient and effective for your Scranton home.
• Geothermal heating and cooling systems are designed for generations of trusty service. The fact that they have few parts, require less maintenance, have vertical or horizontal loops installed underground or in ponds or wells, and call for the heat-exchange equipment to be located indoors, out of the weather, certainly helps.
• A geothermal heating and cooling system can be installed any time of the year. The weather and the temperature are no obstacle, and no additional fees are charged for “seasonal reasons.”
• Almost no yard space is needed for a geothermal heating and cooling system. And what space is necessary is inconspicuous; the “curb appeal” of your home won’t suffer at all.
• Finally, geothermal heating and cooling systems are becoming more and more budget-friendly – even without the current availability of federal tax credits and rebates. Enhancements in system design and manufacturing processes as well as greater competition in the marketplace are what’s helping drive costs down.
