What is the disadvantage of a Geothermal Heat Pump (GHP) system, and how to overcome it?
The only disadvantage of a Geothermal Heat Pump system is the high cost of initial installation, including the cost of human resource, machine and other parts of the system. However, the capital cost of the installation can be offset by the energy savings. A Geothermal Heat Pump system operates more efficiently than conventional heating and air-conditioning systems. The energy cost is saved in the process of heating, cooling and the production of domestic hot water. In most case, the initial cost of a properly installed Geothermal Heat Pump system can be paid back in four to seven years.
