How does a geothermal heating and cooling system work?
A geothermal heating and cooling system starts with the suns energy by heating the earth directly and also indirectly. Indirectly, the heat evaporates water from the earths surface, which falls back to earth and is filtered in the ground. The soil and water act as an insulator and provide a free renewable source of energy year round. There is enough energy under the average home to heat and cool it year round.This is geothermal groundsource heating and cooling.The heat from the soil needs to get into your home and the most efficient way is to bury a 'loop', or pipe circuit, a few feet below ground level. Within this loop is a water and antifreeze mixture that absorbs the earth's heat and is transferred to a heat pump. The heat absorbed by the fluid from the solar-heated ground is extracted from it by the heat pump and circulated through a 'heat exchanger' over and over again to get more heat from the earth.
As an alternative to the horizontal buried loop in a geothermal heating and cooling system you can also bore holes vertically into the earth. There are some other choices as well when the earth is rocky and does not allow you to dig or bore. You can install the loop in a pond or lake or use a coil style loop in the ground or a water well system which is pumped, the heat extracted, and then pumped into another well for return water.
Burying a loop around your home is something like having an oil well on your property, but instead of burning the fuel, which causes green house gases, you are utilizing clean energy that will be around for as long as there is energy from the sun.
In Southwestern Ontario, the average soil temperature year round at 4.5 feet below the surface is 54* F or 12.2* C. Obviously, this temperature by itself will not heat a home, therefore we need to concentrate it using a compressor.
A geothermal heating and cooling system or ground source heat pump can heat your home and provide hot water for your everyday use. This type of system also allows you to have the reverse effect in the summer and will cool your home or business.
The heat can be delivered through your home through metal duct work or radiant floor heat. The temperature does not allow enough heat to be generated for radiator systems. Waterfurnace brand has a unit that can do both forced air and hydronic or radiant floor.
Waterfurnace, the most widely known and well established geothermal company, has the most efficient heating system available that can be installed in new or replacement situations. In fact, Hayter Plumbing & Heating Ltd. installs just as many Waterfurnace geothermal heating and cooling systems in existing homes as in newly constructed homes.
If you are looking for comfort in either a radiant floor or forced air heating system a Waterfurnace system is for you.
The Waterfurnace systems use environmentally safe refrigerants that boost efficiency and performance while protecting the environment.
State-of-the-art components and sophisticated microprocessor controls allow for years of maintenance-free service and smooth operation.
Hayter's offer a 10 year 'Worry Free' warranty on all units installed- just in case a problem should ever occur.
