Your own backyard has the potential to be your source of heating and cooling
comfort. Now you can get safe, reliable, energy efficient heating and cooling from one piece of
equipment. Geothermal energy represents the leading edge of heating and cooling technology. It
moves heat energy to and from the earth to heat and cool your indoor environment. And compared to
ordinary systems, geothermal technology can save you 30% to 60% on your monthly energy bills.
Geothermal is the safest, cleanest, most reliable space conditioning system you can buy.
Geothermal energy is an unlimited resource.
The lot surrounding a suburban home or other
building contains a vast reservoir of low temperature thermal energy, typically 10 times that
required over an entire heating season. This resource is constantly resupplied by the sun, the
surrounding earth, and heat rejected while cooling during the summer. The universal definition of
geothermal is "...pertaining to the heat of the earth." By using the earth to provide up to 50% of
a building's total heating and cooling needs, GHP systems are truly geothermal energy made
practical.
Four basic types of geothermal energy sources:
Horizontal loops
are often considered
when adequate land surface is available. Pipes are placed in
trenches, in lengths that range from 100 to 400 feet.
|
|
|
Vertical loops are the ideal choice when available
land surface is limited. Drilling equipment is used to bore small-diameter
holes from 75 to 300 feet deep.
|
|
|
Pond (lake) loops
are very economical
to install when a body of water is available, because excavation
costs are virtually eliminated. Coils of pipe are simply placed on
the bottom of the pond or lake.
|
|
|
Open loop systems are the fourth type and utilize
ground water as a direct energy source. In ideal conditions, an open loop
application can be the most economical type of geothermal
system.

Four times the efficiency.
A geothermal system uses the Earth's thermal properties in conjunction with electricity to provide
unprecedented efficiency. For every unit of electricity the system uses, it provides four units of
heating energy, giving a geothermal system a 400% efficiency rating on average. These numbers can
translate into real savings on your utility bills year-round.
Here are some advantages for Geothermal
ownership.
Lower operating costs: The Geothermal system operates more efficiently than ordinary
heating and air conditioning systems-30% to 60% in most cases.
Comfortable: Because the unit uses the relatively stable temperature of the
earth as an energy source, you are assured of constant, even winter heating and better humidity
control in summer.
Safe and clean: No flame, no flue, no odors, just safe reliable operation year
after year.
Flexibility: The unit provides heating, central air conditioning and hot water all from the same
compact unit.
Economical Water Heating: Water heating can be a significant energy expense. Geothermal
units can reduce the high cost of water heating by as much as 66%.
Attractive: The completely self contained indoor unit needs no noisy,
unsightly outside condensing unit.
Environment: The system emits no carbon dioxide, which is considered a major
contributor to environmental air pollution.

 What is a ground source heat pump?
Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are electrically powered systems that tap the stored
energy of the greatest solar collector in existence: the earth. These systems use the
earth's relatively constant temperature to provide heating, cooling, and hot water for
homes and commercial buildings.
How do ground source heat pumps
work?
Ground source heat pumps can be categorized as having closed or open loops, and those loops
can be installed in three ways: horizontally, vertically, or in a pond/lake. The type
chosen depends on the available land areas and the soil and rock type at the installation
site. These factors will help determine the most economical choice for installation of the
ground loop.
For closed loop systems, water or antifreeze solution is circulated through plastic pipes
buried beneath the earth's surface. During the winter, the fluid collects heat from the
earth and carries it through the system and into the building. During the summer, the
system reverses itself to cool the building by pulling heat from the building, carrying it
through the system and placing it in the ground. This process creates free hot water in the
summer and delivers substantial hot water savings in the winter.
Open loop systems operate on the same principle as closed loop systems and can be installed
where an adequate supply of suitable water is available and open discharge is feasible.
Benefits similar to the closed loop system are obtained.
