Regardless of whether your Fort Wayne home is old or new, if you’re unhappy with your present HVAC system, 2018 could be the year –
should be the year – you retrofit with geothermal. Prices aren’t likely ever to be better. And, if you need assistance with initial expenditures, interest-free loans are often available to homeowners from manufacturers, vendors, and installation contractors. It’d be to your advantage to consult
now with J. O. Mory Inc, the Fort Wayne geothermal specialists, about what financing options you may have – if, in fact you’re really committed to going with a geothermal heating and cooling system this year. J. O. Mory Inc can also advise you as to whether or not any current state or local homeowner programs might offer financial relief of some kind. Tax credits may be available also. After all, geothermal heating and cooling systems are definitely a step (or two, or three!)
up in energy efficiency over traditional HVAC systems.
There’s some good news, too, about the installation cost of a geothermal enhancement. First, a freshly installed geothermal system will significantly reduce your home’s utility bills. Without delay, you could see savings of anywhere from 20 to 50 percent on cooling – and 30 to 60 percent on heating! Over time, then, your geothermal system will pay for itself. And you’ll certainly have your geothermal system for a very long time.
Bear in mind that a regular furnace, even when well maintained, might give you only 15 years of decent service. 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 … preliminary cost considerations aside, a geothermal heating and cooling system is a wiser choice for you from pretty much any angle. Among its chief selling points are …
- having an endlessly – and easily – renewable source of energy, right from the earth,
- being an efficient “two-in-one” system – heating and cooling facility wrapped in one orderly package
- lower operating costs – since geothermal systems demand so little electricity,
- an incredibly long lifespan – as noted earlier,
- conspicuously quieter operation than run-of-the-mill heating and cooling systems – since the greater part of your geothermal system is buried in the earth, and the portions of it that aren’t don’t have to endure the same stresses and strains,
- minor repair costs – except for a modest schedule of inspections and changing or cleaning filters, you have fewer maintenance necessities with a geothermal system since its relatively few parts are just transferring heat from the ground, not producing it,
- cleaner and safer operation – in contrast to combustion appliances, geothermal systems present no threat of carbon monoxide poisoning, instead delivering clean, awesomely breathable air, and, of course,
- heating and cooling capabilities that rank among the most environmentally friendly of any system around – 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 to J. O. Mory Inc now about the proper way to go about it!
