When customers are in the process of selecting what type of heating system that they wish to install in their home or business, there are many options and many things to consider. They may want to opt for a traditional heating unit, or perhaps a heat pump or a furnace. Many customers, though, are choosing Geothermal Heat in Pump Reno and this short guide will tout the many benefits.
Geothermal Is More Cost Efficient
The most efficient gas furnace usually has an efficiency rating of 94%. Geothermal systems deliver an astounding 400% efficiency rating. Simply stated, this equates to four units of energy being delivered for every single unit of electrical energy. Geothermal systems transfer heat, and this results in a more efficient system which can result in energy costs being lowered by up to 70%.
Environmentally Friendly
The U.S. Department of Energy as well as the Environmental Protection Agency, now recognize geothermal systems as the most environmentally friendly method to heat and cool a home. Unlike other HVAC systems, Geothermal Heat in Pump Reno does not emit carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide, both of which add to air pollution. Also, low electricity demand from geothermal systems helps to keep peak grid demand lower.
Peace and Quiet
Another benefit of geothermal heat is that there are no outdoor units for homeowners to worry about, unlike air conditioning or heat pumps. Geothermal units are quiet to operate and are also very reliable since the units are not subjected to wear and tear caused by the elements, animals, or vandalism.
Long Lifespan
A geothermal system has a lifespan of more than fifteen years, while a typical furnace lasts for about ten years. The pipes that must be buried in a customer’s yard can have a warranty of as long as 50 years. These are made up of polypropylene pipe, which is extremely durable and long-lasting.
Deal With An Established Plumber
