A Geothermal System Saves you Money November 13, 2018 When it comes to home ownership, an intelligent owner here in Alaska will constantly be on the lookout for ways to save money and make sure that everything is working as good as possible. This is especially true when it comes to your HVAC system. After all, regardless of the time of year it’s going to be in use in some form. So how do you maximize your heating and cooling power while maintaining a low utility bill? You utilize the power of a geothermic heating & cooling system! A traditional HVAC system will normally see a return of around 1 unit of energy for every 1 unit of electricity used. Compare this to a geothermal system which has an output of about 5 units of energy for every 1 unit of electricity and you can already start seeing the massive amount of savings. You’ll start seeing a reduction in your heating, cooling, and hot water bills by up to seventy percent! A geothermic system requires less maintenance than your standard units as well. This means lower continuous costs to keep your house warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The full lifetime of the systems are also greater, exceeding 24 years of service compared to around 15 years for your standard HVAC unit. This all adds up to a massive amount of savings over the years. Since a geothermal system doesn’t put out any carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, or any other greenhouse gases, you’re not only saving money but also lowering your impact on the environment. This is a win-win solution for anyone who needs to replace their existing system or simply wants to improve what they presently own.
