Direct Exchange Geothermal Heating Systems from Savant Solar

Savant Solar provides geothermal heating systems. The Direct Exchange geothermal heating system is specifically designed for areas with minimal space for pipe looping. This heating system utilizes short pipe looping that is installed below the ground level. It is this pipe looping through which the refrigerant is circulated. This is different from other geothermal systems where heat transfer fluid is used. The use of the refrigerant eliminates the need for additional piping as the heat is transferred between the ground and refrigerant.
