These systems allow you to enjoy both effective cooling and very efficient heating, offering you year round comfort with just one system. We should also note that a geothermal system is not right for everyone, though.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn&#8217;t mean that you cannot take advantage of heat pump technology, of course. You may also choose to use an <a href=\"\/heating\/heat-pumps\">air-source heat pump<\/a> in Irmo, SC. There are many benefits in doing so. Dial our number today if, after reading the following post, you have any questions.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>While geothermal heat pumps are certainly very reliable and efficient, they also necessitate a pretty considerable installation process. The simple fact is that not everyone is going to own property that is ideal for the installation of such a system. If you want to use something similar to the basic setup of your central cooling system, you can forgo the installation of the geothermal loop by instead opting for an air-source heat pump.<\/p>\n<p>It is true that the air temperature definitely fluctuates more than the temperature below the ground. Because we don&#8217;t have subzero temperatures during our winter season in this part of the country, though, this is not as big of a concern as it may be in, say, the northeastern states. Even if we did, modern heat pump technology makes air-source heat pumps much more effective than they used to be in very cold climates.<\/p>\n<p>The geothermal system is going to maintain some benefits, not the least of which is very long equipment life. If you have a relatively small property, if your soil makeup is not ideal for the installation of the loop, or you just don&#8217;t want to go through the geothermal installation process, which is a bit more involved than installing an air-source heat pump, count on us to help you get the most from the system that you do choose. Whatever type of heat pump you decide upon &#8212; air-source, ductless, or geothermal &#8212; our technicians will make sure that you get the best performance that it has to offer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"block full\">Fulmer Heating &amp; Cooling will help you to live comfortably all year long.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"block full\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; margin: 5px -3px 7px 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: top; width: 275.797px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When last we posted here, we mentioned that geothermal systems are a great option to consider when it comes to a heating replacement.
