It is an excellent choice that requires an investment at the beginning, but in the longer term is economical and environmentally responsible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But you are still asking yourself this question: \u201cCentral heat pump or geothermal heat pump?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t panic! Here are some points to guide you in this final choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>1) THE HEATING \/ AIR CONDITIONING PROCESS<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process is similar for both types of heat pumps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In heat mode, the heat pump draws heat from the outside air, while the geothermal heat pump draws it from the ground and then retransmits it into the home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The advantage of geothermal is that the soil is at a constant temperature of \u00b1 7\u00b0 C, which means that there is more heat available, which gives a higher yield.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In cooling mode, it must be understood that a heat pump does not create cold air; it removes the heat from your home, which cools it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of a conventional heat pump, this heat is somehow lost, since it is simply released into the outside air. The geothermal heat pump, meanwhile, releases heat into the soil, which stores it until the next heating season. The heat is not lost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>2) MAINTENANCE<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A geothermal system is completely underground, so it is sheltered from the weather and requires minimal maintenance, compared to a conventional heat pump, which occupies part of your land and is at the mercy of our beautiful Quebec climate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>3) SYSTEM DURATION<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the geothermal system is entirely underground, its lifespan is almost twice as long as that of a conventional heat pump, approximately 25 vs 15 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>4) ENERGY EFFICIENCY<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The geothermal system produces at least 4X more energy and heat than it consumes. The conventional heat pump that runs on electricity has a performance of 1 to 1, so it costs you 1 kWh to produce 1 kWh of heating. Geothermal systems are thus more energy efficient, by far!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>5) COSTS<\/h4>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2455\" src=\"http:\/\/allardemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-8b-266x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allardemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-8b-266x300.jpg 266w, https:\/\/allardemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/unnamed-8b.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conventional heat pump costs 3X less than a geothermal system. The cost of the geothermal heat pump will vary depending on several factors, such as the type of soil under your home and the type of well you will have to build. But the overall costs should be around $ 30,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>IN SUMMARY\u2026<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The geothermal heat pump wins the comparaison with a majority of the points mentioned above. The only critical point is its initial cost of purchase and installation which is considerably higher. On the other hand, geothermal energy saves you up to 70% on your heating costs\u2026 a point to consider!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is recommended that you do more research by talking with specialists, especially if your home is smaller than 2,000 square feet, to see if an investment in geothermy is worth your while.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if the initial investment is not a negative point for you, then why not enjoy perfect comfort with geothermal energy, knowing that you are also being eco-responsible!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have done your research, you have consulted specialists, you have considered all your options and you have finally decided: your next heating \/ cooling system will be a heat pump, or thermodynamic heat transfer system.
