Whether you are a home owner or a home builder, we are here for you!
New home or existing home? We do both! We can retrofit your home to convert to geothermal or we can install geothermal in your brand new home.
Forced Air
Forced air systems are also know as ducted systems. Hot or Cold air is circulated throughout the home from a central geothermal furnace through a series of ducts installed in the walls of the house.
The benefit of a forced air geothermal heat pump is the ability to have both heating and cooling in one packaged unit. Geothermal systems create a much more unified heating and cooling system then conventional systems. Customers are always “blown away” (pun intended) by how much more comfortable the home environment is once they have made the switch to geothermal. No more fossil fuel danger or smells associated with the furnace only warm sustainable heating and cooling for the remainder of the homes life.
Combo Heat Pump
Combo heat pump systems can produce both forced air and warm water for in floor radiant heating.
These systems are a great solution for new home construction if the homeowner would like to have in floor heating and forced air throughout the home.
Warm Water
Warm water geothermal systems create heat though warm water generated by the geothermal heat pump system. This application is best suited for in floor radiant heat systems. These systems are generally found in new home construction and are a great heat source for basements and cold floor areas. The one drawback with in floor radiant systems are they are not generally used for cooling.
Loop Options
Horizontal Ground Loop
A horizontal ground loop is mainly installed on properties with large areas of open land. Usually limited to properties over 1 acre these systems are a cost effective way of installing geothermal heating/cooling to a home. Geothermal piping is installed in large trenches between 4-6 feet deep. A typical home will require approximately 1800 to 3600 feet of piping.
Vertical Ground Loop
A vertical ground loop is required when space is an issue. Usually installed on urban properties or heavily treed lots. This installation requires the use of a drilling rig that drills multiple bore holes 150-350 feet deep. This method is more expensive than the horizontal and pond loop due to the use of the drilling rig and added time of installation. This is still a very cost effective way to provide geothermal heating/cooling to a home.
Pond / Lake Ground Loop
When a property has access to a pond or lake it is possible to install the ground loop by sinking the geothermal piping in the water. This is an extremely effective and efficient method for provide a home with geothermal heating/cooling. The main deciding factors are volume of water, water depth and distance of the water from the house.
