Here’s the deal. Geothermal heating and cooling is a form of heating and cooling your home that is energy-efficient and on the rise. If you are one of those people who always has to be at the leading edge of things with your clothes, cellphone, iPhone, Christmas lights, etc… then this is the heating system for you. However, you do not have to be super fancy schmancy to want this either. Geothermal heating is a way to save money, while still heating your home. If you are like me, you do not understand nor do you care about the science behind your home’s temperature, so here are some quick easy fast facts about geothermal heating and cooling:
- If you are into etymology of words, you probably figured out that this uses energy from the Earth! This uses the ground’s fairly consistent temperature to provide heat and cool air to your home.
- This could save you about 30-70% on your heating bills, and %20-50% on your cooling bills according to the EPA.
- Renewable energy (go green!)
- You can get a federal tax credit for having one installed
