Your Anacoco, LA, Geothermal Heat Pump Experts.

Did you know you can heat and cool your home naturally using the earth? Geothermal heat pumps are increasingly popular, and it’s not hard to see why.

The ground is an excellent temperature regulator below the surface. During cold weather, a few feet underground maintains a higher temperature. Want to learn more about these systems? Our team at Perkins Climate Control can walk you through the entire process.

How Do Geothermal Heat Pumps Work?

Geothermal systems circulate a treated antifreeze liquid through a closed underground loop. On a chilly day, the earth heats the liquid. A ground heat exchanger extracts the heat from the liquid and transfers it to the heat pump, which dispenses the heat throughout your Anacoco, LA, home.

During the summer, the heat pump works in reverse, like an air conditioner. It removes heat and humidity from your indoor air and moves it into the ground. The chilled air returns to your home and cycles through your ductwork.

Some Geothermal Heat Pump Facts

There are plenty of reasons geothermal heat pumps are unique:

• They are among the greenest systems on the market.
• These systems don’t burn gas but instead rely on the sun’s energy that’s naturally deposited into the ground.
• The geothermal heat pump offers both heating and cooling. Many conventional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems require the combination of two units: an air conditioner plus a furnace or boiler.
• You can apply for energy tax credits. The IRS allows a yearly deduction for a geothermal system, including the cost of installation.
• Geothermal heat pumps use up to half as much electricity as a standard HVAC unit. By making the switch, you can save up to 70 percent on your heating costs and up to 50 percent on your cooling costs per year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
• You can expect your geothermal heat pump to operate efficiently for up to 25 years and the piping to last over 50 years. This long-lasting investment will increase your home value.

Geothermal Heat Pump Installation and Replacement

The geothermal heat pump is an exciting project to embark on, and our Perkins Climate Control team of HVAC professionals will be with you every step of the way.

We’ll need to assess your Anacoco, LA, property to figure out the right piping system for you. The construction process will require excavation. Smaller lots may require a deeper dig to create a vertical loop, while large properties allow the piping to spread out horizontally at a shallower depth.

Additionally, we’ll need to take measurements in your living spaces to ensure the heat pump properly circulates air where you need it most. Want to see how a geothermal heat pump might look in your home? Talk to one of our knowledgeable Perkins Climate Control team members for a free consultation and accurate estimate.

If we can help with the financial side to make a geothermal heat pump a reality for you, talk to us about our financing options (subject to approved credit). We are always here for you.

Geothermal Heat Pump Maintenance

It’s no secret geothermal heat pumps require less maintenance and energy than their more traditional counterparts, which use fossil fuels for energy.

However, professional maintenance checkups are an important way to protect your investment. Since much of the system is underground, it’s harder for you to spot problems.

During routine preventative maintenance visits, our Perkins Climate Control geothermal experts will inspect your system thoroughly. We will check your electrical connections, internal components, and refrigerant levels.

Additionally, our professionals will be sure your heat exchanger and blower are running smoothly, and we will change or clean your air filter. We can also inspect your air ducts for needed repairs to help protect your Anacoco, LA, home’s indoor air quality (IAQ).

Schedule maintenance today and join our preventative maintenance program—Maintenance Savings Plan (MSP). You’ll enjoy discounts on labor, parts, and repairs. Plus, we’ll remind you when it’s time for a checkup.
