There is nothing like it , imagine if you could get 40%-60% off your utility bill . Yeah right ! Is what most people say when I begin to speak about geothermal. Heat, Air Conditioning , and free hot water all in the same unit yes it’s here and has been here for over 20yrs. Don’t feel bad, most homeowners don’t know it exists. Most installations were installed in million dollar homes, or right next door to the people in the know
I have a passion for geothermal because of its energy savings , longevity , and low maintenance. I have never seen the level of satisfaction in any other type of equipment on the market today. For some of my customers they have been able to eliminate their gas bill entirely. Provide the same level of heat as a gas furnace without the gas. Remove 40% more humidity from the home in the a/c mode. All the while providing you with free hot water.
Virginia Beach homeowners who use geothermal systems give them superior ratings because of their ability to deliver comfortably warm air, even on the coldest winter days, and because of their extraordinarily low operating costs. As an additional benefit,
geothermal systems can provide inexpensive hot water, either to supplement or replace entirely the output of a conventional, domestic water heater.
Geothermal heating and cooling
is cost effective because it uses energy so efficiently.1 This makes it very
environmentally friendly, too. For these
reasons, federal agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and the
Department of Energy, as well as state agencies like the California Energy
Commission, endorse it.
Geothermal heat pumps are similar to ordinary heat pumps, but use the ground instead of outside air to provide heating, air conditioning and, in most cases, hot water. Because they use the earth's natural heat, they are among the most efficient and comfortable heating and cooling technologies currently available.
