Geothermal Heat Pumps
HARNESS CLEAN, RENEWABLE ENERGY STORED IN THE EARTH!
Air conditioning, heating, and Hot water
The ground below the surface stays at a constant moderate temperature (40 degrees to 75 degrees) all year round – no matter where you live! This provides a natural reservoir for exchanging heat between the earth and your home.
Nearly half of the solar energy our planet receives is absorbed by the ground! Geothermal heat pump systems provide heating, air conditioning and hot water to your home – and at very high efficiencies.
Naturally Renewable
Because geosystems pump heat to and from the Earth, there is virtually no impact on the environment.
Efficiency = Cost Effective
How Geosystems work
Geosystems use underground loop piping filled with circulating water and an ultra-high efficiency heat pump to exchange heat between your home and the earth. The tubing run underground is typically a closed-loop system. The water from the loops circulates through the heat pump unit that is placed inside the home. The heat pump transfers heat from the water to the refrigerant in the unit and then the heat is transferred from the refrigerant to the air that is moved through the home.
Cooling Mode
In cooling mode, warm air from within your home is brought into the ground source heat pump unit. The coil inside the unit absorbs the warm air into the cooler refrigerant circulating through the coil. Absorbing the heat causes the refrigerant to turn into a gas. The gas then circulates through the system and the heat is absorbed by the cooler water and circulated underground where the heat is rejected to the cooler ground.
Heating Mode
In heating mode, the opposite occurs. The heat is provided by the ground. The cool water is circulated to the ground where it absorbs heat. This warm water then circulates into the ground source heat pump where it is absorbed by the refrigerant. The hot refrigerant is circulated by the coil in the heat pump where it comes into contact with the cooler return air from the space in your home. The cool air absorbs the heat from the hot refrigerant and heats the supply air that leaves the unit to supply hot air to the home.
