Things to know about geothermal heat pump installation
A geothermal heat pump installation may be more expensive up front than a regular heating system, but over the long term will be a money saver. A geothermal pump utilizes the heat that naturally occurs from underground sources. This heat can be used to heat a houses water system or heat the home itself. A geothermal heat pump installation can be done by just about any qualified HVAC installer. One of these systems will require both an outdoor and indoor installation.
The outdoor installation taps into the geothermal heat below the ground. A very deep hole needs to be dug several feet below the surface for the system to be installed. The indoor installation will be used for heating the home water system and the inside of the home. While these may be installed in new construction homes or an existing home, a building permit may be needed for installation in an existing residence.
Though the upfront cost of installation could be a little expensive, the savings on heating costs could be anywhere from 30 to 70 percent over the life of the system. This system also has the potential to save anywhere from 20 to 50 percent on cooling costs. Over time these savings could add up to a substantial amount of money, and the system can end up paying for itself within a short amount of time. Digging the underground loop system is the most expensive part of geothermal heat pump installation.
Other terms you might hear when people are talking about geothermal heat pumps are geoexchange, water source, earth energy, or earth-coupled heat pumps. Throughout the year underground temperatures are more stable than air temperatures, which is the basis of why geothermal heat pump installation is more energy efficient. These systems also have a high level of durability, as the ground loop should last for 50 or more years and the inside components will likely have a system life of at least 25 years.
Geothermal heat pump installation should be considered as a source of saving money and energy by anyone interested in achieving these goals.
