Traditional heating and cooling systems use energy to heat or cool your home’s air to the desired temperature. Geothermal heating and cooling systems, on the other hand, use the earth’s stored energy to heat and cool your home. This geothermal process is more energy efficient than traditional systems.

About six feet below the surface, the ground temperature remains constant year-round. Residential geothermal heating and cooling systems use the energy stored in the earth to heat or cool your home.

In the summer, the underground temperature is much cooler than the air above. Using the ground instead of the hot outdoor air to cool your home requires less electricity, resulting in more energy-efficient cooling.

The process reverses in the winter to provide efficient heating. Instead of burning fuel or converting electricity directly to heat, geothermal systems use a small amount of electricity to move heat from the ground back into your home.

Like any major mechanical system in the home, costs vary based on the difficulty of installation and the specific features of the equipment. Typically, a geothermal system installation costs roughly three times what a conventional heating and air system does, but with a greater return on your investment

Residential geothermal heating and cooling systems can qualify for a 30% federal tax credit on the total cost, with no cap. When combined with the tax credit, a typical geothermal system will pay for itself in six to eight years and will provide incredible comfort and energy savings well into the future. Geothermal systems also increase your home’s value.

How Long Do Geothermal Systems Last?
