Geothermal Installation Sized to Your Manhattan Home October 17, 2011 The savings of a Manhattan 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 needed to properly size your geothermal system. Every step of the way, Carlson Heating & AC, LLC will be there to help. We are Manhattan’s geothermal installation experts! When it comes to installing a geothermal system in Manhattan, there are many factors that should be taken into account. We look at everything from the square footage of your home to the size of the property it rests 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 large 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 is situated on a smaller piece of property, then the application of a vertical loop system is required. The size of your home’s living space becomes a major factor in which unit you will need as well. A smaller, single-story house will need less output to warm and cool 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, in addition to other factors, are options that we will aid you with when it comes to picking out the optimal geothermal system for your home.
