Compare Geothermal Heating and Cooling System Costs and Benefits

Dollar Bills Logo

The ground stays at between 50 to 60 degrees just a few feet below the surface all year. This makes the geothermal energy cost for heating and cooling systems very low, especially for homeowners in the Northwestern Arkansas area. This type of energy is also great for the environment, with low greenhouse gas emissions. The geothermal energy cost is higher at first than a traditional heating and cooling system, but it pays for itself over time. Here’s some more information about how geothermal energy works and how you can use it to save.

Geothermal heat pumps

Fluid circulates through a series of underground pipes called a loop. Sometimes they’re positioned underneath the water of a pond or lake. In winter, an electric compressor and a heat exchanger pulls heat from the pipes and sends it through the home or business. In summer, the pipes absorb heat away from the house. Then, they transport it to the ground or water outside.

Lower Bills

Geothermal energy cost is between 25 and 50 percent less than the cost of conventional heaters and air conditioners. That’s because many geothermal systems consume half as much energy. People can pay for a ground source system solely with the savings from heating and cooling bills in 2 to 10 years. Tax credits can lower the cost of installation and make getting your investment back even faster. Owners of a geothermal energy system can get a refund for up to 30 percent of the initial geothermal energy cost like installation and equipment. These systems also have very few moving parts, making the geothermal energy cost for maintenance very low. Heat pumps last for at least 20 years, and buried pipes usually have warranties of 25 to 50 years.
