How Do I Work Out Whether Geothermal Heating and Cooling Is Right for My Hattiesburg Home?

You might well ask someone who still hasn’t heard about geothermal heating and cooling if they’ve been living underground for the last 50 years or so. Of course, that person would surely miss the irony of your question, given that the source of geothermal heating and cooling lies underground.

Anymore, though, most Hattiesburg homeowners know at least a little about the advantages of a geothermal HVAC system. More of them are mulling one over, too – either as a replacement or upgrade to their current system or as the system they install in that new home they’re having built for them.

Thinking about going geothermal yourself? Well, the benefits certainly are alluring:

• Swapping your old-fashioned HVAC system for a geothermal one could help you lower your heating and cooling costs by as much as 80 percent!
• Geothermal heating and cooling systems are amazingly energy efficient. That, in conjunction with the fact that they have a benignly symbiotic relationship with the environment, make them the most environmentally friendly HVAC systems available today.
• Considering the options geothermal systems give you – package units, split systems, and duel-fuel systems, to begin with – you’re in a stronger position to ensure that the system you pick is the most efficient and effective for your Hattiesburg home.
• Geothermal heating and cooling systems are designed, engineered, built, and installed for generations of trusty use. The fact that they have fewer parts, require less maintenance, have vertical or horizontal loops installed underground or in ponds or wells, and call for the heat-exchange equipment to be installed 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 handicap, and no extra fees are charged for “seasonal reasons.”
• Only a teeny, tiny bit of your yard need be set aside for a geothermal heating and cooling system. And what space is necessary is discreet; your home and landscaping won’t be deprived of the “curb appeal” you work hard to sustain.
• Last, but not least, geothermal heating and cooling systems are becoming more and more feasible from a cost perspective – 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.
