A Geothermal Company for You
Most heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in our service area feature forced-air and radiant mechanisms. In recent years, geothermal HVAC systems have been getting more attention around Moore.
Essentially, geothermal HVAC systems tap into energy sources below the surface. The average 24-inch soil temperature of our region hovers around 57 degrees Fahrenheit, making it ideal for geothermal HVAC systems.
Similar to heat pumps, geothermal HVAC systems follow the thermodynamic laws to condition indoor air. An underground pipe network, what we call “a loop,” taps into the Earth’s consistent temperature below the surface. Fluid circulates within the loop and warms up as it travels through the ground; this is why geothermal systems are sometimes called “water furnaces.”
The outside unit of geothermal systems uses warm fluid to generate heat and pump air through ductwork. Like in a heat pump, the geothermal process reverses in the summer for cooling through sensor and valve mechanisms.
The biggest advantages you can derive from geothermal HVAC installations include:
- Energy efficiency
- Seasonal comfort
- Long lifespan
- Low carbon footprint
The energy-efficient aspect of geothermal systems leverages stable ground temperatures, thus consuming minimal electricity. These systems transfer geothermal energy instead of generating it. Although geothermal installations cost more than traditional HVAC systems, your monthly bills will invariably be lower.
Beyond energy savings, geothermal HVAC systems offer consistent seasonal comfort. You don’t have to worry about frequent cycling; geothermal heat pumps feature year-round stable heating and dehumidified cooling. When you pair them with smart thermostats, geothermal HVAC systems consume less electricity than major home appliances.
If you want a more eco-friendly HVAC system, geothermal energy is your best solution. These systems generate a small carbon footprint thanks to their low emissions and renewable energy power. Geothermal ground loops can last more than three decades, and the heat pump mechanism has a 20-year lifespan.
