If you\u2019re like most folks, you use an air conditioner to cool your home in summer, then a furnace of some kind to heat through winter. Did you know a geothermal heat pump can do both jobs more efficiently than either air conditioners or air-source heat pumps? Did you know geothermal heat pumps like the Dual Air Geothermal WTW048-A Water-to-Water Heat pump will not only save you money, but it will also reduce your home\u2019s carbon footprint without harming the ozone layer with dangerous emissions?<\/p>\n
It will. Unlike traditional air conditioners and air-source heat pumps, a geothermal heat pump takes advantage of the stable environment buried only a few feet beneath the Earth\u2019s surface. Unlike the atmosphere, subterranean temperatures rarely fluctuate even in the face of seasonal highs and lows.<\/p>\n
The stable underground environment allows a geothermal heat pump to keep its operating efficiency high no matter what the weather\u2019s doing outside your home. This allows high efficiency heating and high efficiency cooling, something a regular heat pump just can\u2019t do.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re probably more interested in what that means for you.<\/p>\n
Higher seasonal efficiency translates directly into dollars saved. According to the US Department of Energy, most geothermal heat pump owners reduce their utility spending enough in the first 5-10 years to pay off the unit installation costs.<\/p>\n
Some make the money back in as little as 3 years.<\/p>\n
If that sounds good to you, then a geothermal heat pump like the Dual Air WTW048-A Water-to-Water Heat Pump is exactly what you need for heating and cooling applications in your home.<\/p>\n
