GEOTHERMAL
We offer service and repair and installation on Geothermal systems.
Many people are confused about Geothermal air conditioning. A very common misconception is; The air conditioner will pump water through wells that are drilled in the ground. It will use this water instead of refrigerant to transfer heat into the ground or out to heat or cool your home by using the earth as a heat sink. Many people think geothermal systems do not use refrigerant. This is wrong. A geothermal air conditioner is a heat pump. In the cooling mode it uses the wells to transfer the heat into the ground that the air conditioner absorbs out of your house. In the heat mode it absorbs the heat from the ground and puts it into your home. It is a heat pump with a compressor. The beauty of geothermal is no matter what temperature extremes your home may experience on top of the ground. The air conditioner sees 68 degrees year round and it will perform at an extremely high efficiency rate because of it, this also makes geothermal units last longer than conventional systems. It is not unusual to see a 30 year old geothermal air conditioner.
Three Basic Geothermal Energy Sources
Closed-loop systems circulate a water-based solution through a "loop system " of small-diameter, high-density polythylene underground pipes. Closed-loop systems can be installed horizontally, vertically or in a pond. Open-loop systems use an existing water well or surface water. Whether the system is open or closed, heat is transferred to or from the structure, regardless of outdoor temperature, to provide year-round comfort.

Often used when adequate land surface is available. Depending on geothermal system needs and space available, pipes are placed in trenches that range in length from 100 to 400 feet.
The ideal choice for a geothermal heat pump when available land surface is limited. Well drilling equipment is used to bore small-diameter holes from 100 to 400 feet deep.
Very economical to install when a large body of water is available for use by the geothermal heating and cooling system. Coils of pipe are simply placed on the bottom of the pond or lake to capture the geothermal energy.
In ideal conditions, an open-loop application can be the most economical type of geothermal system. These use groundwater from a well as a direct energy source.
Geothermal Comfort System Is Simply Smarter
