GEOTHERMAL SOLUTIONS
LESS ENERGY USAGE
Geothermal solutions reduce energy use by up to 80% annually and reduce usage spikes during extreme temperatures.
LONGER LASTING EQUIPMENT
Because it has fewer moving parts and operates with higher efficiency, the operational lifespan of geothermal systems is typically more than three times that of a conventional system.
LOWER COST
Reduced energy consumption reduces costs our partners pay, and consistent energy usage year round ensures predictable electric bills.
WHAT IS GEOTHERMAL HEATING AND COOLING?
Endorsed by the DOE and EPA, geothermal heat pump technology is the wave of the future. We don’t waste heat; instead, we pump heat from underground, where the temperature doesn’t vary much throughout the year. While outdoor temperatures fluctuate with changing seasons, underground temperatures don't. Four to six feet below the earth's surface, temperatures remain relatively constant, and a geothermal system capitalizes on these temperatures to provide energy. It’s the most reliable way to heat and cool an indoor space, no matter the season.
Geothermal is renewable and doesn’t burn fossil fuels, so there are no CO2 emissions. Switching from conventional heating and cooling is the environmental equivalent of planting 750 trees (1 acre of trees).
Using the earth to heat and cool is also 50-70% more efficient than traditional heating and cooling systems. That directly translates into savings for you on your utility bills and getting a better night’s sleep. With geothermal, there is lower peak demand and it's virtually maintenance-free, lowering your operating costs.
HOW DOES GEOTHERMAL WORK?
The complete geothermal system only has 3 moving parts. Water moves through a loop of pipes that functions differently in the summer and winter. Heat is pulled from your home or facility and carried into the cooler earth in the summer, and the system reverses in the winter, where underground heat is transferred indoors and distributed throughout your space.
Geothermal loops can be installed in three ways: horizontally, vertically, or through the use of a pond or lake. The type chosen depends on the available land areas and the soil and rock type at the installation site. These factors will help determine the most economical choice for installation of the loop, saving costs from the start.
The loop field installed on your property will forever harvest free energy. It is also SILENT, INVISIBLE and LOW MAINTENANCE. A loop field will last thousands of years and avoids the unpredictable fluctuation of normal HVAC systems that have rising material costs, labor costs and insurance.
IN THE SUMMER...
- When the weather is hot, the water cools down as it travels through the loops that are buried underground
- Once it gets back above ground, the warmed water transfers heat into the building
- The water cools down after its heat is transferred. It is pumped back underground where it heats up once more, starting the process again
IN THE WINTER...
- When the weather is cold, the water heats up as it travels through the part of the loop that's buried underground
- Once it gets back above ground, the warmed water transfers heat into the building
- The water cools down after its heat is transferred. It is pumped back underground where it heats up once more, starting the process again
