How Do I Figure Out Whether Geothermal Heating and Cooling Is Right for My The Hudson Valley Home?

You might well ask someone who still hasn’t heard about geothermal heating and cooling if they’ve been living underground for, oh, say, the last half century. Of course, that person would surely miss the irony of your question, since the source of geothermal heating and cooling lies underground.

Nowadays, though, most The Hudson Valley homeowners have heard at least something about the advantages of a geothermal HVAC system. More of them are mulling one over, too – either as a replacement or upgrade to their current system or as the system they install in that new home they’re building.

Contemplating going geothermal yourself? Well, the benefits certainly are enticing:

• Replacing your old-fashioned HVAC system with a geothermal one could help you cut your heating and cooling costs by as much as 80 percent!
• Geothermal heating and cooling systems are incredibly energy efficient. That, in conjunction with the fact that they have a benignly symbiotic relationship with the environment, make them the most environmentally friendly HVAC systems available today.
• Considering the options geothermal systems offer – package units, split systems, and duel-fuel systems, to begin with – you’re in a better position to assure that the system you choose is the most efficient and effective for your The Hudson Valley home.
• Geothermal heating and cooling systems are built for generations of trusty operation. The fact that they have fewer parts, need less maintenance, have vertical or horizontal loops installed underground or in ponds or wells, and call for the heat-exchange equipment to be situated indoors, out of the weather, helps significantly.
• A geothermal heating and cooling system can be installed whenever you want. The weather and the temperature are no obstacle, and no extra fees are charged for “seasonal reasons.”
• Almost no yard space is needed for a geothermal heating and cooling system. And what space is necessary is discreet; the “curb appeal” of your home should be completely unaffected.
• Last, but not least, geothermal heating and cooling systems are becoming more and more feasible from a cost perspective – even without the current availability of federal tax credits and rebates. Advances in system design and manufacturing processes as well as increased competition in the marketplace are what’s helping drive costs down.
