Geothermal Installation Sized to Your Salem Home October 17, 2011 The savings of a Salem geothermal installation is hard to deny. Superior heating and cooling efficiencies while accessing the greenest way to condition your home both make a geothermal system a smart choice. However, a significant amount of planning is required to properly size your geothermal system. Every step of the way, Mill Creek Heating will be there to help. We are Salem’s geothermal installation experts! When it comes to determining the size a geothermal system in Salem, there are a variety of factors that should be taken into account. We analyze everything from the size of your home to the size of the property it sits on. Three important elements that determine the heating and cooling capacity your geothermal installation needs include the following: This size of your property will have a vital impact on the type of geothermal pipe system that you can install. Horizontal loop systems are cost-effective, but require substantial amount of land. If your house resides on a smaller piece of property, then the application of a vertical loop system is required. The size of your home becomes a major factor in which unit you will need as well. A smaller, single-story house will need less capacity to condition than a two-story home. Do you have ductwork that can be used for the new geothermal system? If your house is lacking a ductwork system due to a heating/cooling system that does not use forced air, you will need to have ducts installed to use the geothermal unit. All of these items, and many more like them, are things that we will aid you with when it comes to picking out the correctly sized geothermal system for your home.
