WaterFurnace Geothermal Heat Pump Systems

WaterFurnace is the leading manufacturer of geothermal comfort systems - offering a wide variety of products to suit every application. Geothermal heat pumps are more efficient than conventional; heat pumps because they utilize the nearly constant temperature of the earth (between 50° and 60°F) as the source of heating and cooling energy instead of ambient outdoor air which is hot in the summer and cold in the winter. An EPA study of energy efficienty concluded that geothermal energy is the most environmentally friendly heating / cooling system. The WaterFurnace system qualifies for a Federal tax credit.

With efficiencies up to 500%, geothermal energy represents the leading edge of heating and cooling technology. It moves heat energy to and from the earth to heat and cool your indoor environment. And compared to ordinary systems, geothermal technology can save you 30% to 60% on your monthly energy bills. Geothermal is the safest, cleanest, most reliable space conditioning system you can buy.

Geothermal Heating

During the heating cycle, a WaterFurnace geothermal heat pump uses the earth loop to extract heat from the ground. As the system pulls heat from the loop it distributes it through a conventional duct system as warm air. The same heat energy can also be used for a radiant floor system or domestic hot water heating.

Geothermal Cooling

In the cooling mode, the heating process is reversed - creating cool, conditioned air throughout the home. Instead of extracting heat from the ground, heat is extracted from the air in your home and either moved back into the earth loop, or used to preheat the water in your hot water tank.
