Geothermal Installation Sized to Your Alaska Home October 17, 2011 The money you’ll save from a Alaska geothermal installation is easy to see. Superior heating and cooling efficiencies while tapping into the greenest way to condition your home both make a geothermal system a smart choice. However, a lot of planning is required to properly size your geothermal system. Every step of the way, Energy Efficiency Associates will be there to help. We are the Alaska geothermal installer to call! When it comes to installing a geothermal system in Alaska, there are a variety of factors that should be taken into account. We analyze everything from the size of your home to the size of the property it resides on. Three important aspects that regulate the heating and cooling capacity needed by your geothermal installation include the following: This size of your property will have a large impact on the type of geothermal pipe system that you can install. Horizontal loop systems are cost-effective, but require substantial amount of land. If your house resides on a smaller piece of property, then the installation of a vertical loop system is required. The size of your home’s living space will play a major factor in which unit you will need as well. A smaller, single-story house will need less capacity to warm and cool than a two-story home. Do you have ductwork that can be used for the new geothermal system? If your house is lacking a ductwork system due to a heating/cooling system that does not use forced air, you will need to have ducts installed to use the geothermal unit. All of these items, and many more like them, are options that we will aid you with when it comes to picking out the right geothermal system for your home. Contact Energy Efficiency Associates today, and experience the comfort and savings a properly installed geothermal system will provide. Back To News
