Truth About Geothermal HVAC

3 Misconceptions About Geothermal HVAC Systems

December 21, 2022

Some Andrews, TX, homeowners still consider geothermal HVAC systems a costly luxury only available for the very wealthy. Many don’t know the benefits that come with the system and if their homes are capable of having them. Read on to learn three common misconceptions of geothermal systems that are no longer or never were true.

You Can’t Use Geothermal Systems for Cooling and Heating

Just because the word “thermal” is in the title doesn’t mean the system can only work one way. Water-to-air geothermal HVAC systems can cool your home and heat it.

The system can send heat from your home into the ground. It can also extract heat from the Earth to heat your home.

Installation Is Too Expensive

Geothermal HVAC systems are much more accessible to homeowners than they were before. The upfront costs may seem higher than a traditional HVAC system, but since it cools and heats more efficiently, the savings are seen in your energy bills. Additionally, you can apply for governmental tax credits and incentives to help with the upfront costs.

Geothermal HVAC systems don’t require as much maintenance or repairs as traditional heating and air conditioning systems, which will save you lots of money as well. However, if you need any of these services, we can provide them day or night.

It Takes Too Long to Install

Yes, it’s a longer job to install a geothermal HVAC system than a traditional one. However, the longest part of the process — the planning and permitting — happens outside of your property. Unless you need to install ducts in your home, we can install a geothermal system in a few weeks.
