Additional Benefits Of Geothermal Heat Pumps
By utilizing the same system you can provide both heat and air conditioning. Since your geothermal heat pump unit is a self-contained unit and is installed away from the elements (indoors) you can expect your unit to have a life expectancy of up to 50 years. Because of this long life expectancy some manufactures will warrant a geothermal heat pump up to 25 years. Check with your Harvey Hottel, Inc representative concerning differently manufactures and their warranties.
Additional benefits include:
- Liquid antifreeze is a non-toxic, non-polluting, biodegradable substance.
- The piping is specially designed to withstand extreme temperatures.
- The loops are joined by thermal fusion (melting them together), so there's virtually no chance of the liquid leaking out.
- There are no noisy "on" cycles with blasts of hot or cold air.
- No fluctuations in temperature from room to room.
- No flues to get clogged.
- No dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.
- No noisy outdoor air conditioner.
Heat pumps are a feasible alternative to traditional HVAC.
