  Geothermal 

WaterFurnace systems represent the leading edge in heating and cooling technology. Basically, they require just one piece of equipment to move heat energy to and from the earth to heat and cool your indoor environment. That's why we say WaterFurnace systems are "Smarter from the Ground Up." Compared to ordinary systems, they can save you up to 60 percent on your monthly energy bills. So WaterFurnace is the safest, cleanest, most reliable space conditioning system you can buy.

Equally impressive is the fact that geothermal energy is an unlimited resource. And it's literally right there in your own backyard. The lot surrounding a suburban home or other building contains a vast reservoir of low-temperature thermal energy?typically 10 times that required over an entire heating season. This resource is constantly resupplied by the sun, the surrounding earth and the heat rejected while cooling during the summer.

Take a look at the Water Furnace savings calculator to see how you can benefit!

Loop Installation

Four Basic Geothermal Energy Sources

Closed-loop systems circulate a water-based solution through a "loop" of small-diameter, underground pipes. Closed-loop systems can be installed horizontally, vertically or in a pond. Open-loop systems use an existing water well. Regardless of whether the system is open or closed, heat is transferred to or from the home to provide year-round comfort, no matter what the outdoor temperature is.

Horizontal Loops
These are often considered when adequate land surface is available. Pipes are placed in trenches that range in length from 100 to 400 feet.

Vertical Loops
These are the ideal choice when available land surface is limited. Drilling equipment is used to bore small-diameter holes from 75 to 300 feet deep.

Pond/Lake Loops
These are very economical to install when a body of water is available, because excavation costs are virtually eliminated. Coils of pipe are simply placed on the bottom of the pond or lake.

Open Loops
These use groundwater as a direct energy source. In ideal conditions, an open-loop application can be the most economical type of geothermal system.
