EarthSource Energy Solutions offers the Geo Direct geothermal heat pump. The direct exchange geothermal heat pump is suitable for both residential and commercial applications. The geothermal heat pump does not burn oil, gas, or any other fossil fuel. Hence, the heat pump helps to reduce dependency on fossil fuel and brings down greenhouse gas emissions. Besides proving heating and cooling, the heat pump also dehumidifies and supplies domestic hot water.
The Geo Direct geothermal heat pump is available in different capacities ranging from 24,000 to 60,000 British thermal units per hour. The geothermal heat pump uses the earth energy that is available free, and unlimited. However, the heat pump uses electricity to capture heat from the earth. The temperature of earth under the frost line remains the same all through the year. Hence, the heat pump gives constant operating efficiency.
The Geo Direct geothermal heat pump has the ability to reach 400 percent efficiency, helping to save 30 to 70 percent on cooling, heating, and domestic hot water costs. The heat pump, provided by EarthSource Energy Solutions, can pay back the initial investment in 3 to 5 years of time. The geothermal heat pump is simple to use, as it has to be set only two times a year. The ground source heat pump requires low maintenance. The copper loops buried in the ground for the heat pump have a longer life.
