Geothermal Heating And Cooling System

Ground source heat pumps and direct use geothermal technologies serve heating and cooling applications while deep and enhanced geothermal technologies generally take advantage of a much deeper higher temperature geothermal resource to generate electricity.

Geothermal heating and cooling system.

Today system pricing is more competitive than it was a decade ago because there are many more manufacturers selling ground source heating and cooling systems and there are more experienced installers competing. Geothermal cooling systems work much like a traditional heat pump. A geothermal heat pump ghp or ground source heat pump gshp is a central heating and or cooling system that transfers heat to or from the ground. But instead of drawing on the ambient air temperature they use the constant temperatures below ground to shed excess heat or.

Geothermal heat pumps can be used in any climate. This design takes advantage of the moderate temperatures in the ground to boost efficiency and reduce the operational. The heat pump unit the liquid heat exchange medium open or closed loop and the air delivery system ductwork and or the. Geothermal energy is considered a renewable resource.

It uses the earth all the time without any intermittency as a heat source in the winter or a heat sink in the summer. In fact millions of ghp systems are already heating and cooling homes and businesses worldwide and that includes all 50 u s. Deep and enhanced geothermal systems.
