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

If there are still people out there who are unaware of the benefits of geothermal heating and cooling, you might very well inquire if they’ve been living underground. Of course, such people would probably miss the irony of your question, since the source of geothermal heating and cooling lies underground.

Nowadays, though, most Las Cruces homeowners understand at least something about the rewards of a geothermal HVAC system. More of them are mulling one over, too – either as a replacement or upgrade to their present system or as the system they install in that new home they’ll soon have under construction.

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

• Swapping your old-fashioned HVAC system for a geothermal one could help you reduce your heating and cooling costs by as much as 80 percent!
• Geothermal heating and cooling systems are marvelously energy efficient. That, in addition to the fact that they have a benignly symbiotic relationship with the environment, make them the most environmentally friendly HVAC systems around.
• Considering the options geothermal systems provide – package units, split systems, and duel-fuel systems, first off – you have a better chance of seeing that the system you choose is the most efficient and effective for your Las Cruces home.
• Geothermal heating and cooling systems are built for generations of reliable service. The fact that they have so few parts, need less maintenance, have vertical or horizontal loops installed underground or in ponds or wells, and call for the heat-exchange equipment to be sheltered indoors, out of the weather, makes a big difference.
• A geothermal heating and cooling system can be installed whenever you want. The weather and the temperature are no hindrance, and no further fees are charged for “seasonal reasons.”
• Only a teeny, tiny bit of your yard need be set aside for a geothermal heating and cooling system. And what space is needed is unobtrusive; your home and landscaping will lose none of the “curb appeal” you work diligently to maintain.
• Last, but not least, geothermal heating and cooling systems are becoming ever more feasible from a cost perspective – even lacking, as we do at the moment, federal tax credits and rebates. Improvements in system design and manufacturing processes as well as increased competition in the marketplace are what’s helping drive costs down.
