Old home or new, if you’re dissatisfied with the HVAC system you’ve got, 2018 could be the year –
should be the year – you update to geothermal. Prices will surely never be as ideal again. And, if you need help with up-front costs, interest-free loans are typically available to homeowners from manufacturers, vendors, and installation contractors. You’d be well-advised to speak
now with Sun City Plumbing & Heating, the Las Cruces geothermal specialists, about what financing options you may have – that is, if you’re really committed to upgrading to a geothermal heating and cooling system this year. Sun City Plumbing & Heating can also clue you in as to whether or not any current state or local homeowner programs might offer financial relief of some kind. Tax credits may be applicable also. After all, geothermal heating and cooling systems are obviously an enhancement in energy efficiency over ordinary HVAC systems.
There’s some good news, too, about the installation cost of a geothermal enhancement. First, a newly installed geothermal system will significantly cut your home’s utility bills. In no time at all, you could see savings of anywhere from 20 to 50 percent on cooling – and 30 to 60 percent on heating! As time goes on, then, your geothermal system will pay for itself. And you’d better believe it, you’re going to have your geothermal system for a very long time.
It’s generally conceded that an ordinary furnace, even when well maintained, might last, oh, say, 15 years. A geothermal system? It’s mechanics are designed and built to last up to 30 years. And the ground loop beneath your yard is good for 50 years at least!
So … initial cost considerations aside, a geothermal heating and cooling system is more beneficial for you in every way. Among its top advantages are …
- having an unceasingly – and easily – renewable source of energy, right from the earth,
- being an efficient “two-in-one” system – heating and cooling [[capacity wrapped up in one trim package
- lower operating costs – since geothermal systems demand so little electricity,
- an unusually long lifespan – as mentioned earlier,
- appreciably quieter operation than run-of-the-mill heating and cooling systems – since the greater part of your geothermal system is buried beneath your lawn, and the components of it that aren’t don’t have to endure the same stresses and strains,
- reduced repair costs – other than an undemanding schedule of inspections and changing or cleaning filters, you have fewer maintenance necessities with a geothermal system since its relatively few parts are simply transferring heat from the ground, not producing it,
- cleaner and safer operation – in contrast to combustion appliances, geothermal systems pose no danger of carbon monoxide poisoning, instead delivering clean, wonderfully breathable air, and, of course,
- heating and cooling capabilities that rank among the most environmentally friendly of any system being sold today – since, in the winter, a geothermal system is just transferring heat from the ground into your home, and in the summer, it’s removing heat to keep your home cool.
So what’s holding you back? Make this the year you retrofit and enhance your home with a geothermal heating and cooling system. Talk to Sun City Plumbing & Heating now about the best way to go about it!
