Geothermal Heat Pumps

Electric Heating

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
