How Do I Decide Whether Geothermal Heating and Cooling Is Right for My Fort Wayne Home?

You might well ask someone who still doesn’t know about geothermal heating and cooling if they’ve been living underground for a few decades. Of course, that person would more than likely miss the irony of your question, since the source of geothermal heating and cooling lies underground.

Anymore, though, most Fort Wayne homeowners understand at least a smidgin about the perks of a geothermal HVAC system. More of them are contemplating one, too – either as a replacement or upgrade to their existing system or as the system they install in that new home they’re constructing.

Considering converting to geothermal yourself? Well, the benefits certainly are alluring:

• Replacing your old, familiar HVAC system with a geothermal one could help you lower your heating and cooling costs by as much as 80 percent!
• Geothermal heating and cooling systems are extraordinarily energy efficient. That, plus the fact that they have a benignly symbiotic relationship with the environment, make them the most environmentally friendly HVAC systems you could install.
• Given the options geothermal systems offer – package units, split systems, and duel-fuel systems, for starters – you’re in a stronger position to see to it that the system you choose is the most efficient and effective for your Fort Wayne home.
• Geothermal heating and cooling systems are designed, engineered, built, and installed for generations of faithful service. The fact that they have few 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 located indoors, out of the weather, helps considerably.
• A geothermal heating and cooling system can be installed any time of the year. The weather and the temperature are no obstacle, and no extra fees are charged for “seasonal reasons.”
• Only a teeny, tiny bit of your yard need be taken up by a geothermal heating and cooling system. And what space is needed is unobtrusive; the “curb appeal” of your home won’t be ruined in the least.
• Last, but not least, geothermal heating and cooling systems are becoming ever more wallet-friendly – even lacking, as we do at the moment, federal tax credits and rebates. Advances in system design and manufacturing processes as well as growing competition in the marketplace are what’s helping drive costs down.
