However, as the years rolled on, central heating and air conditioning went from being for the rich and for commercial business to being in every common joe’s home
I was just thinking the other day how much I would love it if I could afford to invest in a geothermal heat pump to heat my home. That would mean getting rid of my central heating. And that is something I would love to do because to run the central heating in the winter is very costly. The same as the central air conditioning. There’s not a way around the air conditioning yet other than buying a portable a/c system and alternating the usage. But with the heater, there is plenty of alternate energy saving options, and the geothermal heat pump is one of them. Will the prices of those things ever go down? I mean if you think about it, way back in the late 1960’s when central heating and air conditioning was first starting to be a more mainstream thing it was super expensive like a geothermal heat pump today. However, as the years rolled on, central heating and air conditioning went from being for the rich and for commercial business to being in every common joe’s home. Why can’t they do the same for geothermal heat pumps? I think it has been around enough years to where they can make it affordable to the general public if they really wanted to. I guess maybe it is the electric companies that are putting a stop to this. Because if the geothermal heat pump was affordable to everyone, they would lose money on the rip off that they run yearly of overcharging for electric usage of any kind of decent heating and air conditioning.
