Is Geothermal Right For Me?
Whether you are building a new home or updating an old home, the installation
of a new heating and air system warrants looking into geothermal. Many people call
me wanting to understand it and trying to verify if geothermal is a good choice for them.
Geothermal will ALWAYS be a great choice in my mind for new construction, as a heating
and air system must be installed anyway. New construction allows for the drilling to take
place with no obvious destruction and the units can be placed in a pre-planned area within
the house or garage.
Retro-fitting a house with a geothermal system, though, can be a touchy little project.
The lawn and landscaping in many instances has long been established and many times that
landscaping also includes sentimental items for the homeowner. Drilling 4, 5 or 8 holes will
have a direct impact on the homeowners yard that cannot be avoided so this is one of the
first items we discuss.
Size of the yard is just as critical. Many beach homes take up the entire lot and prevent us
from sometimes even drilling 1 loop!
While Weber Well Drilling & Geothermal does not install the heating and air units themselves, unit
placement can be another challenge as an existing house may not have any space that
can be dedicated for this purpose.
