If you have, you may be hesitant because you think it\u2019s too expensive or you don\u2019t have enough room for a geothermal system. And if you haven\u2019t, it\u2019s probably because in the back of your mind you have similar reservations: maybe geothermal just isn\u2019t practical.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve worked with geothermal for three decades, and we can tell you that geothermal is more accessible than you might think. In fact, we\u2019d love to show you the possibilities of making the change from your current heating and cooling system to a geothermal WaterFurnace heat pump.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>How a Geothermal Heat Pump System Benefits You<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s true that a geothermal heat pump costs more to install than a standard heat pump. It requires more installation time as well. The installers must place ground loops in your property, usually 6\u2019\u201310\u2019 deep, and connect them to the indoor elements of the heat pump that hook up the ventilation system. But the advantages will pay you back over the years:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>High efficiency performance: <\/strong>A geothermal system extracts and deposits heat in the ground (depending on which mode it\u2019s in). Because the temperature in the ground at the level of loops stays relatively stable, no matter the weather, a geothermal heat pump is extremely efficient. Especially in the winter. A geothermal heat pump won\u2019t struggle trying to draw sufficient heat from the outdoor air during the winter, because it always has a ready supply of heat down in the ground. In general, a geothermal heat pump operates 3 to 6 times more efficiently than other comfort systems and can payback their installation cost in as little as 7 years.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Long service life:<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve paid back the installation cost, you\u2019ll have many more years of service from your geothermal heat pump. The indoor components usually last 20 years before needing to be replaced, while the ground loops can last for more than 50 years.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Good for the environment:<\/strong> If you\u2019re looking for a way to \u201cgo green,\u201d a geothermal system is ideal. In fact, many government agencies (the EPA, the Department of Energy) agree that using geothermal heating and cooling is the greenest comfort system. The more energy-efficient the HVAC system, the better it is for the planet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Is a WaterFurnace?<\/h2>\n<p>WaterFurnace is a brand of geothermal heat pump. It\u2019s one of the most respected and reliable brands of geothermal system available to homeowners.
