Is geothermal heating worth it? This has been a question running in our mind for about 2 years.
This all started when I went to visit a buddy of mine who lives in another state. She was consistently complaining about his heating plan costing his a small fortune. My buddy lives in an area that receives brutal winters that start way too early. So, while other people are only using a heating plan in the night during fall, he might need it all day. As a result, our buddy had to contend with paying high energy costs every month. Eventually, he spoke with his Heating, Ventilation, and A/C professional about the high energy costs and asked for advice. Asking for help proved to be the right transport since the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C professional was more than willing to help her. He taught our buddy about geothermal heat pumps and geothermal heating. It’s not cheap to set up, but it does wonders when it comes to lowering energy costs. My buddy took it upon herself to learn all he could about geothermal heating and knew it was his saving grace. After saving for some time, he finally had the plan set up in his home. From the time the new heating plan went active, I barely heard any complaints about high energy bills. My buddy swears he found the best way to keep his apartment sizzling from mid-fall to the end of winter. And he no longer has to pay a small luck for this privilege. His positive experience with geothermal heating has me thinking I might invest in the same. The money isn’t an issue, but I’ve also been considering that this is an eco-friendly system.
