The buzzword in the new home industry is “Green”. Everyone wants a more energy efficient home. Here at Visnic Homes, we area big proponent of Green building. Geothermal heating and cooling technology has gained popularity with our clients interested in committing to “greener” living. I installed a system in my home 10 years ago and it’s great. Here’s how it works. The ground temperature about four to six feet down remains constant year round. The geothermal system circulates a water-based solution underground to exchange heat with the surrounding constant temperature. The energy is recycled to a geothermal compressor that heats or cools air to the desired temperature and circulates it throughout your home. This is far more efficient than a conventional heat pump that has to exchange heat with a wide range of outdoor air temperatures. A geothermal system will heat and cool your home, and heat some of your home’s hot water. That can amount to savings of 30 to 70 percent on your utility bills. Now, that’s significant. At Visnic Homes, we’ve installed many of these systems over the years throughout Virginia, DC, Maryland, and West Virginia. I highly recommend you consider it. The end result is a home that is both energy-efficient and extremely comfortable.
Let me show you how easy it is to be green in your new Visnic Home.
