Time to Retrofit Your The Hudson Valley Home with a Geothermal Heating and Cooling System?

If your The Hudson Valley home’s an older one, or even if it’s relatively new, and you’re dissatisfied with the HVAC system you’ve got, 2018 could be the year – should be the year – you retrofit with geothermal. Prices will surely never be as good again. And, if you need help with initial expenditures, interest-free loans are often available to homeowners from manufacturers, vendors, and installation contractors. You’d be smart to talk now with Verdae Geothermal, the The Hudson Valley geothermal specialists, about what financing options you may have – particularly if you’re serious about installing a geothermal heating and cooling system this year. Verdae Geothermal can also inform you as to whether or not any current state or local homeowner programs might offer some sort of financial relief. Tax credits may be available also. After all, geothermal heating and cooling systems are surely an enhancement in energy efficiency over ordinary HVAC systems.

There’s some good news, too, about the installation cost of a geothermal enhancement. First, a recently installed geothermal system will significantly slash your home’s utility bills. You could see immediate savings of anywhere from 20 to 50 percent on cooling – and 30 to 60 percent on heating! By and by, then, your geothermal system will pay for itself. And you’ll certainly have your geothermal system for a very long time.

It’s generally conceded that a regular furnace, even when well maintained, might last, oh, say, 15 years. A geothermal system? It’s mechanics are designed and built to last up to 30 years. And the ground loop buried in your yard is good for 50 years at least!

So … initial cost considerations aside, a geothermal heating and cooling system is more beneficial for you in every way. Among its greatest assets are …

  • having a perpetually – and easily – renewable source of energy, straight from the earth,
  • being an efficient “two-in-one” system – heating and cooling [[capability wrapped up in one neat package
  • lower operating costs – since geothermal systems need so little electricity,
  • a remarkably long lifespan – as mentioned above,
  • significantly quieter operation than standard heating and cooling systems – since the greater part of your geothermal system is buried outside in the yard, and the parts of it that aren’t aren’t put through the same stresses and strains,
  • reduced repair costs – aside from a light schedule of inspections and changing or cleaning filters, you have fewer maintenance necessities with a geothermal system since its relatively few parts are only transferring heat from the ground, not producing it,
  • cleaner and safer operation – in contrast to combustion appliances, geothermal systems pose no risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, instead delivering clean, gloriously breathable air, and, of course,
  • heating and cooling capabilities that are among the most environmentally friendly of any system available – since, in the winter, a geothermal system is simply transferring heat from the ground into your home, and in the summer, it’s removing heat to keep your home cool.

So what are you waiting for? Make this the year you retrofit and enhance your home with a geothermal heating and cooling system. Talk with Verdae Geothermal now about the proper way to go about it!
