Geothermal Systems

During the heating cycle, a geothermal system uses the earth loop to extract heat from the ground. As the system pulls heat from the loop it distributes it through a conventional duct system as warm air. The same heat energy can also be used for a radiant floor system or domestic hot water heating. In the cooling mode, our geothermal system air conditions your home by reversing the heating process. Instead of extracting heat from the ground, it is extracted from your home and either moved back into the earth loop, or used to preheat the water in your hot water tank. Once the heat is removed from the air, it is distributed through the duct system in your home.

Other benefits of geothermal systems include:

High return on investment

Geothermal heat pump systems operate more efficiently than an ordinary heating and air conditioning system because they can deliver an astounding five units of energy for every one unit of electrical energy used. By combining stored earth energy with safe electric power, geothermal owners realize savings up to 70% for heating, cooling, and hot water. Our geothermal heating and cooling systems are expected to pay for themselves in about six years thanks to the enormous energy savings generated.

Your individual return on investment is based upon your system, your home, your current fuel source, the incentives available to you, and your financing approach. Our comfort specialists can help you determine your individual expected return.

Enhanced comfort

Our geothermal systems provide precise distribution of comfortable air all year long, often eliminating hot spots and cold spots. During heating, you'll experience warm air without the hot blasts associated with ordinary gas furnaces, or the cooler air of an air source heat pump. When cooling, our geothermal units deliver cool, dehumidified air. Additionally, geothermal heating and cooling systems are designed and constructed for "whisper quiet" operation. And unlike standard air conditioners or heat pumps, there is no outdoor unit to disturb you or your neighbors.

Greater reliability

Unlike air conditioners and heat pumps, geothermal units are installed indoors, so they are not subject to wear and tear caused by rain, snow, ice, debris, pollutants, extreme temperatures or vandalism. Geothermal units have proven to be very reliable and require less maintenance than traditional systems.

Environmentally friendly

According to the Department of Energy and the EPA, geothermal systems are the most environmentally friendly way to heat and cool your home. Our systems emit no carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or other greenhouse gasses, which are considered to be major contributors to environmental air pollution. They are a natural, green source of heating and cooling.
