Selecting a geothermal heat pump to heat and cool your home in the Hampton Roads area may be the best choice if you want to save money over the long haul on heating and cooling bills. Geothermal installation is not as simple, however, as an air-source or dual-fuel heat pump system because the source of energy is underground.
A geothermal heat pump uses underground coils to tap into the stable temperatures of the ground to harvest the heat in order to heat or air condition your home. HVAC technicians consider the following before geothermal installation:
Once the soils and hydrology have been studied, the HVAC technician can advise potential buyers about the geothermal installation and what will be involved when the system is set in place.
Besides having a comfortable indoor environment all year, a geothermal heat pump does not require a condenser unit outside, which not only saves space in the yard, it also cuts down on noise emanating from a compressor fan.
