Geothermal HVAC Systems ; Lower The Heating System Repair Philadelphia Cost

By Lelia Hall


There are seasons of extreme weather in Philadelphia that make it absolutely necessary to have a heating system in place at home. You could choose from a wide variety of designs and technologies that are available in the market. However, regular heating system repair Philadelphia sometimes make keeping such a system an expensive affair. One of the systems that require less of maintenance is a Geothermal heating system.

This system makes use of the heat that is found below the ground level. Since half of all heat energy emitted by the sun ends up in the earth crust, the crust remains warm through extremely cold seasons. This means that the crust has more reliability in maintain heat as opposed to the atmosphere that is affected by weather conditions. The geothermal systems make use of this heat by creating a network of pipes under the surface and filling them with water. Water then rotates from the earth, to the heat pump and to the building.

Apart from requiring less servicing, the geothermal heating systems are heat efficient and environmentally friendly. It uses less energy to ensure that the rooms have stable temperatures. Since it uses renewable energy, there is less fossil fuel extracted and burnt. This lowers the greenhouse emissions that include sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide. It is estimated that if a home removes a convectional HVAC for a geothermal one, it will have rid the atmosphere of greenhouse emissions that would take an acre of trees to do.

Geothermal systems do not require regular sterilizing to keep bacteria out as most other systems do. This guarantees you of good quality indoor environment. The system has no compartments that need disinfection. It also saves you from carbon monoxide and risk of fire as produced by an open fire furnace.

The system generates hot water more cheaply than other systems. A simple connection is made between the hot water system and the HVAC system to enable the system heat the water. Heat that is removed from the building during hot season is stored in form of hot water under the surface. This water is available for use at any time.

One of the major disadvantages of convectional HVAC systems is the lots of noise that they produce. This causes noise pollution and lots of disturbance in the house. The geothermal systems on the other hand guarantee a quiet operation thus giving the peace that you so such require. This is because the heat pump is found below the ground.

The general lifespan of a conventional furnace is around eight years if well maintained. The general warranty of a geothermal system is fifteen years. The loop system underground has a warranty of fifty years and above. This is because the pipes are made of polypropylene with lasts long. Since the heat pump is buried, it is also not affected by weather, dust or easily accessible by malicious people.

Finally, the biggest advantage of the system is the savings done on your monthly electricity bill. The cost of installation of a geothermal system is generally covered by the difference in amounts paid within a period of five years
