Benefits

Ground Source Heat Pumps offer great benefits:

§  Simultaneously heat & cool different parts of the same building

§  Very quiet–users do not know when the system is operating

§  Can be set up in multiple zones, with each zone having an individual room control

§  Greater freedoms in building design due to 50-80% less mechanical room space

§  No outside equipment to hide, eliminating vandalism and roof top units

§  Pipes have 50-year life expectancy

§  All electric, which eliminates multiple utility services

§  Expel boiler and chiller maintenance

§  Ground heat exchanger is maintenance free and will last 40+ years

GSHPs offer great savings:

§  Very competitive on initial costs and lower lifecycle costs than most HVAC systems.

§  Savings of 25-50% on energy consumption

§  Lower peak demand, lowering your operating costs

§  Water heated with waste heat from air conditioning at no cost in the summer and at substantial savings in the winter

§  Some utilities offer rebates or incentives to their customers who purchase GSHPs.

GSHPs are environmentally friendly:

§  Conserve natural resources by providing efficient climate control and thus lowering emissions

§  Minimize ozone layer destruction by using sealed refrigeration systems, which seldom or never have to be recharged

§  Use underground loops to transfer heat, with no external venting and no air pollution

§  Very energy efficient, with the earth providing over 70% of the energy required to heat and cool
