What You Need to Know about Geothermal Heating & Cooling

You’re considering a geothermal system for your Dayton, OH, home. Whether you have an existing home or you’re making plans to build, you know that geothermal heating and cooling requires a considerable investment up front. So our pros at Allied Services, Inc. understand that you’d like to do a little research before making the decision. To help you out, we’ve compiled a few of the most important facts about a geothermal system.

1. Geothermal systems use existing energy sources.

Instead of pulling from non-renewable resources like oil or gas, a geothermal system utilizes the sources already in place around your home. Whether you have a nearby pond or we simply design a system that pulls from the ground’s temperatures, we utilize the energy that the earth has already stored and maximize that for your Ohio home.

2. You save on utility bills in the long haul.

Compared to other heating and cooling systems, a geothermal system is highly efficient. Therefore, you will see a reduction in your overall utility bills—a value that will only pay you back after years of use.

3. It’s environmentally friendly.

Because this type of system uses the ground around your home as the main energy source, it’s extremely friendly to your surrounding environment. So if you’re concerned about minimizing your environmental footprint, a geothermal system may be a great option for you.

4. Geothermal systems have a long lifespan.

Many of our customers are concerned about investing in a geothermal system because of the cost. They don’t want to pay for the installation if the system won’t last long or is prone to needing repairs. We get it! However, it’s important to note that experts agree that most geothermal systems (when installed properly) can last for generations, and if it does need repairs, the cost is never as significant as the initial installation.
