Used by residential and commercial properties throughout the U.S., geothermal energy is easily tapped using shallow horizontal installations or deep wells. Equipment used to implement HVAC systems using this technology is quite familiar, similar to a heat pump in appearance, size, and function. Geothermal is also commonly used to produce electricity.
Investing in geothermal provides long-term access to energy that stabilizes your costs and simplifies your HVAC systems. You can consolidate from an AC and furnace to a single, highly efficient, year-round heating and cooling unit. Let us help you calculate the savings involved in a geothermal installation!
Does Geothermal Require Acreage to Operate?
The liquid-filled plastic pipes used in most geothermal installations are buried in a typical backyard or even under your home’s driveway. Larger buildings can be served using an expanded set of heat transfer coils, and vertical installations are also possible. Ask for several geothermal design solutions that put your property to work!
- Implementing a green energy source for your home or business
- Using grid or local renewable electricity to power the system
- Compact system without furnace combustion gasses
- Straightforward to install, operate, and service
Geothermal is in use throughout the U.S. including Alaska and Hawaii, and it’s perfect for heating and cooling in our local area. Since ground temperatures stay stable around 55 degrees year-round, the system provides predictable heat transfer to and from the ground. Coils installed in the ground need very little attention, while geothermal heat pump equipment needs periodic maintenance using common equipment and parts.
