Geothermal Heating and Cooling

Geothermal heating and cooling systems are a "green energy" that uses the earth as a heat source and a "heat sink." In otherwords, it is something that absorbs and disperses heat from another object using thermal contact.

A series of pipes carry a fluid used to connect the system's geothermal heat pump to the earth. These pipes contain water or a water and antifreeze mixture.

Why Geothermal?

Studies show, that approximately 70% of the energy used in geothermal systems is renewable energy from the ground. The remainder is clean electrical energy, which is used to concentrate heat and transport it from one location to another.

During the winter, the ground absorbs solar energy and provides a barrier to cold air. In the summer, the ground heats up more slowly than the outside air.

As a result, owners of geothermal systems enjoy utility bills that are 25%-70% lower than with conventional systems. This can also result to lower maintenance costs.

The usual cost of a geothermal well system can range from about $8,000 to $20,000.

Homeowners have saved 30-50% on their heating and cooling bills after installing geothermal systems. A home's value increases by $10-25 for every $1 reduction in the annual utility bill, according to the National Association of Relators Appraisal Journal.

If you have a question on which method is best for your well call Grela Well Drilling Inc. for the correct answer.

Benefits of the Geothermal Systems

-Free, renewable supply of solar energy

-Effciency ratings up to five times higher than those of ordinary heating and cooling systems

-Savings on utility bills up to 70%

-Reduced carbon footprint, since the system burns no fossil fuels

-More even distibution of heating and cooling for improved comfort

-Improved indoor air quality

-Quiet operation with no noisy outdoor units to disturb the environment or neighbors

-Safe operation that requires no open flame or fuel storage tanks

Get rid of the Fossil Fuels in your home, forever!

For ever 100,000 homes that use geothermal heat pump systems, foreign oil consumption is reduced by 2 million barrels each year. Homeowners can save up to 50% on electric bills, up to 70% ing heating and 50% in cooling.
