Building a new home is an exciting time with lots of options. You get to choose colors, styles, materials, textures, systems, and a wide variety of other features. It is a chance to make your home unique to your family. If you\u2019ve been looking at different heating and cooling options, you may have run across geothermal systems. The following are some benefits of going geothermal when you build your home.<\/p>\n
The upfront cost of installing a geothermal system compared to a conventional HVAC system is slightly higher, though they are pretty similar. The savings come in when you start getting monthly bills. Your electric bill will be much lower in the summer when the air conditioner turns on, making this an obvious benefit. There are also many government incentives you could look into, saving even more on your initial installation of a geothermal system.<\/p>\n
Because you are building a new home, nothing will have to be disturbed to install your geothermal system. You can customize the location of the vents and other components without having to rearrange anything that\u2019s typically included in a new home.<\/p>\n
There are two parts of a geothermal system that may need to be replaced over time. The ground loops could last you anywhere from 50 to 100 years. The heat pump could last up to 25 years. Compare that to a conventional system that needs continual maintenance, repairs, and replacements after only 10 to 20 years, and you can see how much less work this type of system is.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a lot to geothermal systems that you\u2019ll want to understand if you are building a new home and need a quality option for your heating and cooling system.
