If youâve never heard of geothermal HVAC systems, or if youâve been wondering whether theyâre worth the investment â youâre not alone. At Geo Heating & Cooling, we get this question a lot: âWhat exactly is geothermal⊠and is it right for my home?â Letâs break it down.
đ What is geothermal heating & cooling?
Geothermal systems use the consistent temperature underground to heat and cool your home.
No matter the season, the ground just a few feet below the surface stays between 50â60°F
year-round â and that steady temperature is exactly what geothermal taps into.
In the winter, the system pulls heat from the ground into your home. In the summer, it moves
heat out of your home and disperses it back into the earth. Itâs one of the most efficient ways to regulate indoor comfort â and itâs not just for new construction. Many homeowners in Southern New Jersey are upgrading to geothermal even in existing homes.
đ„â How does it compare to traditional systems?
- Compared to a standard furnace or air conditioner, geothermal offers some major advantages:
- Lower energy bills â up to 50â70% savings over time
- Consistent indoor temperatures â no big swings or drafts
- Quiet operation â no loud outdoor units
- Longer system lifespan â 20â25+ years for inside components; 50+ years for ground loops
- Eco-friendly â significantly reduced carbon footprint
đ°Â Is geothermal expensive?
Itâs true â geothermal systems cost more up front than traditional HVAC systems. But the
long-term savings in energy costs often pay back the investment in just a few years.
Plus, many homeowners qualify for federal tax credits and local rebates, which help make
geothermal more affordable.At Geo Heating & Cooling, we help you understand all your options â including financing â so you can make the right decision for your home and budget.
