Is geothermal affordable? Isn it much more expensive than a regular HVAC system?
Geothermal systems may indeed have higher up-front costs than regular fossil fuel-based heating and cooling systems. Nevertheless, if you consider how much it costs to run a heating and cooling system using electricity, natural gas or oil, you’re much better off going with geothermal. An integrated geothermal system from Indie Energy can provide ample heating, cooling and hot water using 50 percent to 80 percent less energy. Our highly-efficient geothermal systems typically pay for themselves within five to seven years, in energy savings alone.
