My husband and I have been thinking about switching from a regular central heating and air conditioning system to a geothermal heat pump. The geothermal heat pumps work by pulling the heating and cooling energy directly from the ground. Not only is a geothermal heat pump green energy, but it’s also much more efficient and longer lasting. Using a geothermal heat pump instead of a regular essential heating and air conditioning system has many benefits, however there are also some drawbacks too. Like for starters, a geothermal heat pump is much more expensive up front than your average central heating and cooling system. This was something that my husband and I really had to consider, not only should we get it, but if so when should we get it. Is it worth all the extra cost? Well I think I have found the answer to that question and I think for us at least the answer is yes. The reason being, phone is true that a geothermal heat pump may be far more expensive up front, it will ultimately save you a lot more money in the long run. Also, a geothermal heat pump has a much longer lifespan than your average heating and air conditioning system and because of this you will be spending way less money on maintenance and repairs with a geothermal heat pump and you would be with your average central heating and cooling system. We decided you won’t keep up with us and we purchased one from our local heating and AC business. They’re coming out next Tuesday to perform the installation of it.
