Doing Your Part to Keep Your HVAC System Running

A few months ago, my air conditioner completely died. I woke up in the middle of the night covered in sweat, and I didn't know what to do. The next day, I called an HVAC expert, and they came out to inspect my system. It turned out that it had failed because of filthy filters and a clogged return duct, which made me sick to my stomach. I had caused the problem, and I needed to learn how to fix things. My HVAC professional taught me a few easy maintenance techniques that I didn't know before, so that I could maintain my new system. Check out this blog to learn more about HVAC yourself.

Equipping Your Home With A Geothermal Heating System

Blog

The choices that you make for your home's heating and cooling system can be some of the most important factors for the comfort of your family and the energy costs that you will have to pay to regulate the temperature. Geothermal systems can be one of the most efficient systems that you will be able to use for your home.

How Will A Geothermal Heating System Be Able To Warm Your House During The Winter Months?

Individuals may think that they will have to live near a hot spring or other sources of active geothermal heat to be able to use these systems. However, this is not exactly the case, and these systems can be installed in most places. This is due to the fact that the temperature under the ground will be fairly stable. A geothermal system will utilize a series of conduits under the ground, and they will absorb the heat from these areas and transfer it into the home.  

Can Geothermal Systems Fully Heat Your Home?

Geothermal heating systems can be extremely efficient due to the fact that they will not directly generate heat. Rather, they will simply transfer heat from the ground into the home. While this can be far more efficient, you should be aware that the amount of heat output from these systems will be more modest. Due to this reason, you may want to consider installing a supplementary heat source for the home. This can be very useful when the temperature drops extremely low as this could potentially overwhelm the heat output from the geothermal system. By being able to use this heat source during these times, you can keep your home warm while still enjoying the performance benefits of geothermal for most days.

Will Installing A Geothermal Heating System Cause Widespread Landscaping Damage?

Due to the need to install conduits in the soil, individuals may be worried that the installation of a geothermal heating system will cause substantial damage to their landscaping. While it is necessary to do some excavation to install the conduits for the geothermal system, the amount of excavation required may be minimal. Furthermore, you will have a lot of control over where this system is installed so that you can place them where they will cause minimal impacts to your landscaping. Fortunately, these conduits can last for decades once they have been installed, which can minimize the potential need for future excavation to repair or replace these conduits.
