Would Geothermal Energy Work for My Home?

Geothermal energy is an excellent form of green energy that should be put to work for your home.

When it comes to green energy, geothermal energy is one of the very best to use for your home. It works in a fairly simple fashion by moving the earth’s heat, utilizing it in a loop via a ground source heat pump that goes from the earth to your home and back again. We’ve all heard about the beyond significant savings, the green energy benefits, as well as the benefits of getting away from a large and loud heating and cooling system. One of the real beauties of geothermal energy is that it is found pretty much anywhere, from Egypt to right here in North Carolina.

The next question that comes to mind is: what is needed to install a geothermal system? A few things to consider are:

• Ducts: Make sure your duct work is cleaned and prepped for your new geothermal system. (One of the nice things about geothermal energy is that it is pretty compatible with most homes’ current ductwork.)
• Area: Make sure the area you select for placement of your geothermal system heat pump is clear of shrubs, lawn furniture, etc, and ready for your geothermal system to be installed with ease.
• Size: Talk closely with your geothermal system provider to be sure you know how to choose exactly the right system you need for your home.

Geothermal energy is available to nearly any home and would likely be a good fit for yours. If you think it is time for significant savings in your bank account as well as significant savings for the planet, contact G & M Service today to learn how to take advantage of green energy with geothermal.
