GEOTHERMAL.
When it comes to keeping you comfortable, lowering utility costs, and
conserving natural resources, geothermal systems offer a proven solution
that’s not only practical, but readily available.
Nothing compares to the efciency
of geothermal systems
A geothermal heat pump can save half the cost of
heating and cooling the average home. In fact, for every
unit of energy used for operation, three to ve units of
heat energy are produced.
In other words, for every $1 you spend on running the
heat pump and blower, $3 to $5 worth of energy is
delivered.
For even further energy savings, Comfort-Aire geo heat
pumps include hot water generators that supplement
domestic hot water (in both the cooling and heating
modes).
Not only is geothermal technology efcient, it’s also
effective at keeping your home comfortable in every
season.
How our geothermal systems work...
• Piping or tubing is buried in the ground or submerged in a
pond or lake.
• A water/coolant mixture circulates through the piping.
• In summer, hot air is extracted from the home by the heat
pump and absorbed by the water mixture. This heat is
transferred to the ground or pond water as the water mixture
travels through the piping, and cooled water is returned to the
heat pump.
• In winter, the water mixture in the piping absorbs heat from the
ground or pond/lake and transfers it to the heat pump.
• The heat pump blower distributes the conditioned air
throughout the home.
Ground Loop: slinky-type
piping is buried in a horizontal
trench, used when adequate
land is available.
Ground Loop: pipes are buried
horizontally, this trench shows
six pipes—three outgoing,
three incoming.
