Geothermal Heating & Cooling in Parkersburg, Clarksburg & Surrounding Areas

Grogg’s Home Services offers geothermal services including:

  • Geothermal Heat Pump Installation
  • Geothermal Heat Pump Repair and Replacement

A geothermal heat pump is often referred to as “geothermal heating” or “geothermal heating and cooling.” A geothermal heat pump is primarily used for residential purposes and uses the Earth’s renewable energy to heat and cool buildings. Pipes are extended into the ground where refrigerant gets pumped through and brought back up to the house. Heat is exchanged, causing either a cooling or heating effect. Because the Earth’s underground temperature is always around 60 degrees, the heat exchange process uses very little energy, lowering your power bills.

Benefits of Geothermal Heating & Cooling

Geothermal heating and cooling systems can be expensive to have installed, but have many benefits that outweigh the cost. Some benefits of geothermal HVAC systems include:

  • They are safer, cheaper and quieter to operate.
  • They have a longer lifespan than traditional HVAC systems — up to 50 years!
  • They help promote better indoor air quality.
  • They require very little maintenance.
  • They can also be set up to provide an immediate hot water supply.

Although the initial cost to have a geothermal heat pump installed can be high, it generally pays for itself within the first three to five years due to the energy savings and tax credits it provides.

How Does Geothermal Technology Work?

These systems work by tapping into the consistent temperature of the Earth. In winter, geothermal heat pumps take the heat from the ground and bring it to the surface, where the air has cooled. An air-source heat pump, on the other hand, will spend a lot of energy trying to extract heat from the cold air outside, spending more energy.

This works the opposite way in the summer months. Since the air is hotter near the surface of the Earth, heat is brought down from your home to the relatively cool soil or water below. This method results in lower energy usage as well as higher efficiency.

Is A Geothermal Heat Pump The Right Choice For You?

Determining whether a geothermal HVAC is the correct choice for your home can be difficult, especially when you have recently discovered geothermal systems. Weighing the pros and cons of a geothermal heat pump system with your home’s heating and cooling needs in mind can help you determine if it is the right choice for your home.
