how it works
Geothermal Systems offer the highest cooling and heating efficiencies of any Air Conditioning & Heating system available today.
Geothermal Heating
In winter times ClimateMaster geothermal heat pump systems will absorb the heat from the ground through the water circulating its underground loop. Heat is then transfered to the heat pump system where it’s concentrated and then sent as warm air throughout your entire home.
Traditional heat pump systems work the hardest in the winter times trying to extract heat out of the coldest air. In contrast, a geothermal heat pump system consumes less energy by extracting heat from the abundant supply stored in the ground, making geothermal heating highly energy efficient.
Gas furnaces burn natural gas to provide heat for your home and are only 98% efficient. Geothermal systems use significantly less energy collecting heat from the earth reaching 400-600% efficiencies.
Geothermal Cooling
In Summer times, ClimateMaster geothermal heating and cooling systems extract the heat from your home air and transfer it to the underground loop where it is then absorbed by the cooler earth.
In addition, the geothermal heat pump uses the cool water returning from the ground to create cool, dehumidified air conditioning for your home.
A traditional air source heat pump must work hard to force the heat from your home into the already heat saturated air. In contrast, a geothermal heat pump consumes less energy as it easily rejects heat into the cool earth, making geothermal cooling highly energy efficient.
BONUS FEATURES
FREE Hot Water
Water is used as the heat transfer medium through a closedloop piping system buried in the ground. Most Geothermal Air Condtioning systems also include a hot water generator, which diverts a portion of the supplied heat to the domestic water heater. This provides a substantial portion of a family’s hot water needs at a very low cost.
Enviromentally Friendly
Geothermal systems are lowest in CO2 emissions, providing a solution to global warming by primarily using the natural energy of the earth. EarthPure® (HFC-410A) zero ozone depletion refrigerant is available for ClimateMaster Geothermal Heat Pumps for an even friendlier system.
No Outdoor Fan Noise
By using water as thermal source, Geothermal Heat Pumps provide energy efficient comfort year round with a factory-tested and sealed packaged unit, without the need for a noisy outdoor fan, or a flue.
