Geothermal Heat Pumps
FEATURES
Geothermal (ground source) heat pumps are electrically powered, self-contained systems that take advantage of the earth’s relatively constant ground temperature to provide heating, cooling and hot water for homes and commercial buildings
The heat pump unit is housed entirely within the home or commercial building and connected to the outside buried ground loop
Geothermal heat pumps work with the environment to provide clean, efficient and energy-saving heating and cooling year round through a closed loop or open loop system
Loops can be installed three ways: horizontally, vertically or in a pond or lake
The type chosen will depend on the available land area and the soil and rock type
ADVANTAGES
Savings – Can cut heating and cooling costs by 50 percent and
provide hot water free or at substantial savings
Durability – Lasts longer than a conventional system due to protection from harsh outdoor weather
Low Maintenance – The ground loop has an expected life of over 50 years and requires no maintenance
Low Noise – Operates quietly due to lack of exposed, noisy outside units
Conservation – Works with the environment by using the earthís moderate ground temperature
Prices subject to change without notice.
