Benefits of Geothermal Units

Winter isn’t over yet! Over the last few days, we’ve experienced some frigid weather in the North Central Ohio area, and you’re likely running your heat at a higher temperature than usual. You might be wishing you didn’t have to spend so much just to keep your home or business warm. What if we told you that we could make this wish come true?

While Shakley Mechanical offers traditional HVAC services, we are proud to also provide geothermal heating and cooling units to our customers! We have noticed that customers who choose the geothermal units have a significant decrease in their utility bills. Geothermal units also provide air conditioning, water heating, and radiant heating services.

There are so many wonderful benefits to using geothermal units! In this blog, we’ll go over some of the most important advantages they provide:

They save you money! We already mentioned that these units can save customers on their utility bills, but it’s important to note that this savings could be up to 80%! Treat yourself to some extra money in your pocketbook in the long run by investing in this non-conventional heating and cooling choice.

They’re better for the environment! Because geothermal units are much more energy efficient than traditional HVAC systems, they give the electric grid a break. This is especially beneficial during the heat of summer and even the freezing winter days. You can reduce your carbon footprint by opting for these geothermal units instead of the more conventional HVAC systems.

Geothermal units can operate in any climate! That’s right. No matter the temperature outdoors, your geothermal unit will still work just fine. This is due to the constant underground temperature. Depending on the location, it can range from 45° to 75° F. Thanks to this regulated underground temperature, the units pull heat or cool from the ground with ease.

They’re long-lasting! Geothermal pumps are built to stand the test of time. According to energy.gov, “Expect to get around 25 years out of GHP indoor components (i.e. the heat pump) and 50-plus years for ground loops.” The initial investment for geothermal pumps is more than your traditional HVAC systems, but the result is well worth the expense.

The Ultimate Guide to Clog Prevention

  Drains can become clogged easily: Here's how to prevent that!  Any drain, whether it's located in the shower or the kitchen, is susceptible to clogging. Unfortunately, this phenomenon is quite common. With the right tips, you can drastically reduce the chances of damaging your drains.  Tip #1: Reduce Food Scraps  Drains are not made to process large amounts of food (or large amounts of anything, for that matter).  Before rinsing off your plate, it is wise to scrape off what you can over the trash can so that your drain is left to deal with the remnants it can effectively process. We recommend adopting this as a household rule, and if necessary, purchasing a drain strainer that will collect the food before it enters the drain.  Tip #2: Don't Rinse Grease and Fat Down The Drain  This is a tricky one. If you can't use your drain to dispose of hot grease, where does it go? First, you should let the grease cool down. Once it cools, it usually takes on a solid-form. When yo
