A decent quality and working heating system often provide the much-needed comfort of a home when its cold outside and a rug won’t do the trick. But when you start realizing your heating system is not producing much heat, or there are some very unusually loud noises coming for it and sometimes even your electricity bills seem to have shot up in numbers…it may be time to check your heating system.
Sometimes it may not be so obvious to direct your attention to your unit, but it is surprising what a difference a poorly installed unit or an aged one can make to everything in your house or office building, including on your bills. It is more often the case that the energy it takes to run a conventional heater is twice as much as the energy it takes to replace it to get a more updated version fitted. And the bonus point here is that in most cases, the price difference of both; getting an existing long-standing one fixed, in comparison to replacing it with a good-quality one, is not even that significant.

Geothermal heating is the concept whereby heat is derived from within the sub-surface of the earth. Since 1892 has this idea has been employed in the United States and is still going strong with newer and more sustainable and eco-friendly units becoming available on the market every year. Even though the original idea began almost 10,000 years ago, its first industrial usage originated in Italy, near a town called Pisa in the late 18th Century.
When this initiative is combined with a cooling system, the complete component is known as an HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) system and as you can imagine, repairing or upgrading one of these will need the facilities of CTI Mechanical HVAC Services, professionals who know how these units work and how to fix them properly so they last longer and save you a lot of future costs.
In looking for ways to be more environmentally friendly, the option of Geothermal heating units is at the top of the rankings – this uses far less energy and produces minimal to none amounts of pollution. This invention takes advantage of the constant flow of heat that is derived from beneath the earth’s surface all the way down to its magma layers.
Countries like Canada and the USA use this efficient technology to pump hot water from beneath the earth’s surface so as to help melt any settled ice from the roads and foot-paths. This system produces only a quarter of the carbon-dioxide in comparison to power plants, not to mention it is available throughout the year come rain or shine.
If your looking for a cost-saving, eco-friendly, widely available and renewable option to successfully heat up your building at a rate of 400 percent, there is no other selection than this, that we would recommend to anyone.
Replacing one is no different from replacing your every-day heat pump and the costs are similar too. If you are planning on joining the thousands of eco-conscious people and going geothermal, hiring local professionals to do the job for you would be the best advice we can give you. This would involve them doing a full ‘audit’ of the home and evaluating the existing or none-existing systems, after which they will make suggestions for improvements or if it is a new one you are getting installed they will take measurements of the appropriate location to install it or will find ways to integrate it into your existing system’s location.
Things like the size of your home, the soil and earth beneath the ground, availability of space and your personal heating needs will all be taken into consideration and the auditor will then decide which of the four options is best suited for your needs. Read more on the different ones here:
- Closed Pipe: Which has bigger and longer pipes for high-quality functionality. These come in two options of horizontal and vertical systems depending on the space available.
- Pond System: Also known as a Lake system needs an open water source nearby.
- Direct Exchange: Has a single loop refrigerant.
- Open Loop: Also need a water body nearby but can retrieve the moisture from the earth’s surface.
There is no better time than now to get with the times, save the environment and cut back on those high-energy bills.
