Optimize Your St. Louis Home with Geothermal HVAC

May 9, 2013

Which of the Four Geothermal Systems is Best For You? A solar heating system can help you save a lot of cash on home heating and cooling expenditures by reducing your energy use. There are a few different types of these systems, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. The best system for your home is determined by criteria like soil conditions and the size of your property. A geothermal heating and cooling system works similarly to a traditional heat pump. It moves energy from the earth or a water body rather than transmitting heat from the air around your St. Louis home. They are more effective than standard heaters and air conditioners because temperatures underneath the ground and underwater are more consistent than air temperatures. They last longer, are quieter, and have the potential to raise your home’s value. They’re more expensive to set up, but the savings on utility bills may make it worthwhile. According to the Inter-NACHI, (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors), there are four geothermal systems.  The type of system you choose depends on the climate of the location you live, the condition of your soil, how much land you have, and what the local...

Why Consider Geothermal Energy

March 15, 2013

Why Consider Geothermal Energy Simply put, geothermal systems are the most efficient way to heat and cool your home. Why? There is no doubt that the world is moving toward renewable energy sources. With climate change at the forefront of many people’s minds, it is more important than ever to find ways to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels. One of the most promising forms of renewable energy is geothermal power. The technology behind geothermal energy is not new. In fact, it is something that has been around for a very long time. However, new technology has taken this and made it available for potentially every home. What Is Geothermal Energy? Geothermal energy is the thermal energy that is stored in the Earth. This energy can be accessed by drilling into the Earth’s surface and extracting the hot water or steam that is present underground. The heat from this water or steam can then be used to generate electricity or to heat buildings. Since geothermal energy is derived from the Earth, it is a renewable resource. This means that it can be used repeatedly without causing any harm to the environment. Geothermal energy is also considered to be a clean...

Geothermal Power Up by 5% in 2012

March 7, 2013

Geothermal Power Currently there is a 30% tax credit for the installation of a geothermal system.  According to the Geothermal Energy Association, installed geothermal capacity grew by 5% in the United States in 2012. This growth builds on the already growing trend of geothermal usage over the past decade. However, in order for this trend to last, the government needs to continue its support of these programs by the continuation of tax credits and by its support of geothermal research and development. As of the first week in March 2013, geothermal industry leaders and government officials met in Washington, D.C. to discuss how they should move the geothermal industry forward. Currently there is a 30% tax credit for the installation of a geothermal system. This tax credit is available through the end of 2016. In addition to this, many states have extra incentives available for the installation of residential geothermal systems. St. Louis Geothermal Installation Scott-Lee Heating Company is dedicated to giving you quality customer service and reliable geothermal system maintenance and installation throughout the St. Louis Metro Area.

How Beneficial Is Geothermal Heating and Cooling?

February 22, 2013

A geothermal system will cut costs by as much as 70%. Geothermal systems have become one of the most popular heating and cooling systems in recent years. As oil and electricity prices have risen, they have gained a sizable place in the market, thanks in large part to their ability to cut heating costs. Another reason for their popularity is because of a 30% tax credit that will end in 2016. If these oil and electricity costs are treating you like a jilted friend, then find comfort in the arms of geothermal. These types of systems will have initial upfront costs, but pay off themselves in the long run, usually in two to ten years. A geothermal system will cut costs by as much as 70%, and the longer they operate, the better the savings and more money in the bank. When used in cooling mode, the electrical usage is reduced by 20% to 50% compared to traditional heating and cooling systems. Another good side to this form of green energy is its durability and low maintenance. The underground piping often has long-term warranties associated with it, and if installed properly is a worry off your shoulders. The few mechanical...
