How Do I Establish Whether Geothermal Heating and Cooling Is Right for My Hattiesburg Home?

If there’s anyone out there who still doesn’t know about the advantages of geothermal heating and cooling, you might be justified in asking if they’ve been living underground. Of course, if they had, they’d undoubtedly miss the irony of your question, since the source of geothermal heating and cooling lies underground.

Anymore, though, most Hattiesburg homeowners have heard at least a smidgin about the advantages of a geothermal HVAC system. More of them are looking into one, too – either as a replacement or upgrade to their current system or as the system they install in that new home they’ll soon have under construction.

Considering going geothermal yourself? Well, the benefits certainly are enticing:

• Swapping your traditional HVAC system for a geothermal one could help you cut your heating and cooling costs by as much as 80 percent!
• Geothermal heating and cooling systems are extraordinarily energy efficient. That, coupled with the fact that they work with the environment, not against it, make them the most environmentally friendly HVAC systems around.
• With the options geothermal systems offer – package units, split systems, and duel-fuel systems, first off – you have a better chance of seeing that the system you choose is the most efficient and effective for your Hattiesburg home.
• Geothermal heating and cooling systems are designed, engineered, built, and installed for generations of faithful performance. The fact that they have few parts, need less maintenance, have vertical or horizontal loops installed underground or in ponds or wells, and call for the heat-exchange equipment to be installed indoors, out of the weather, makes a major difference.
• A geothermal heating and cooling system can be installed whenever you want. The weather and the temperature are no hindrance, and no extra fees are charged for “seasonal reasons.”
• Almost no yard space is necessary for a geothermal heating and cooling system. And what space is necessary is inconspicuous; your home and landscaping won’t be deprived of the “curb appeal” you work diligently to maintain.
• Last, but not least, geothermal heating and cooling systems are becoming more and more feasible from a cost perspective – even lacking, as we do at the moment, federal tax credits and rebates. Improvements in system design and manufacturing processes as well as growing competition in the marketplace are what’s helping drive costs down.
