Intro to Geothermal
This short video does a great job of introducing the concepts and values of implementing geothermal energy.
Once installed, a geothermal system requires less maintenance than a conventional heating and cooling system and functions more efficiently, delivering an impressive five units of energy for every one unit of electrical energy used. That converts to a 500 percent efficiency rating and that means you'll see up to 70 percent savings on heating, cooling and hot water costs.
How does it work?
Forty-seven percent of the sun's energy that reaches earth is stored in the ground as heat. Geothermal systems draw from this heating potential using an earth loop system; collecting this free heat for your home.
Geothermal Heating
During the heating cycle, a WaterFurnace geothermal heat pump uses the earth loop to draw heat from the ground. As the system draws heat from the loop it distributes it through a conventional duct system as warm air. The same heat energy can also be put to use for a radiant floor system or household hot water heating.
Geothermal Cooling
Conditioning air is just the reverse process used in the heating cycle. Warm air is driven by the geothermal heat pump into the ground. By getting rid of the warm air, all that is left is cool air radiating throughout your home. Heating your water during this process is "free".
