Geothermal Heat Pumps

There is a surprising amount of energy in the ground around your home that can be harnessed in order to heat your house effectively and inexpensively.
The use of geothermal heat pumps can be a fantastic way to alleviate your energy costs and provide heat for your home using renewable and environmentally friendly sources.

How Do They Work?

Geothermal heat pumps harness the heat in the ground around your home through the use of piping which contains water.
As the water travels through the tubing, it is warmed by the latent heat in the ground.
This heat is renewed on a daily basis by solar radiation.
The heat then travels back into your home and is used to provide under floor heating to warm your home.
This process is aided by the use of a heat exchanger.

How Much Heat Can You Harness?

This can vary depending on where you live.
On average, geothermal heat of 60° can be found in most locations.
In others, if there are geothermal springs nearby this temperature can be even higher.
There are a number of advantages that geothermal heat pumps can offer.
These include:

• Substantial energy bill reductions.
  It is often possible to lower heating bills by as much as 70% using a geothermal heat pump system
• Virtual lack of routine maintenance.
  These systems are very easy to operate and maintain.
  Unlike other heating systems there is no ash to clean out and the system is designed to be low-maintenance.
• Durability.
  The systems we install are designed to be extremely long lasting.
  They can operate for up to twenty years or more with little to no maintenance.
  When you compare this to the cost of a high efficiency furnace that may need replacing every ten years you can see the savings potential that you can realize.

Can Older Homes Have Geothermal Heat Pumps Installed?

It is very easy to retrofit an older home with a geothermal heat pump system.
They can also be installed in newer homes as well.
During a consultation, trained experts will view the area surrounding your home and determine which system is the best for you and what the source of geothermal heat will be.
