Geothermal Heat Pumps

A geothermal heat pump is no more complicated than a refrigerator. The heat pump uses a basic refrigeration cycle to extract heat from a water source and move that heat into the building.

By remembering that heat will naturally move from something warm to something cool and that a heat pump provides the necessary temperature link between the heat in the earth and the need to heat a building--the entire process is very simple.

Important components within a geothermal heat pump are:

The compressor to change the temperature of the refrigerant A heat exchanger linked to the earth loop Air or water coil to distribute the heat into the building

A geothermal heat pump will do all the heating and all the cooling of the building within one cabinet. It is an all-electric, clean, reliable, safe and economical system.

A geothermal heat pump is simply enabling heat to move naturally.

Free Hot Water
In the cooling season, the GeoExchange system removes heat from the space. Before this energy is moved to the ground loop it can be used to provide domestic hot water. This means no cost water heating in the summer and at substantially lower costs in the winter.
