WHAT IS A GEOTHERMAL HEAT PUMP?
A heat pump is a mechanical devices used for heating and cooling which operates on the principle that heat can be moved from a warmer temperature to a cooler temperature. A geothermal heat pump uses the earth to warm up in the winter and cool us in the summer. You already have a heat pump in your home – your refrigerator. If you put your hand behind it you’ll feel the heat that has been removed from the food inside the refrigerator. This is the same principle that ECONAR uses to move heat to and from the home and earth.

IMPROVED INDOOR AIR QUALITY
An all-electric heat pump system produces no products of combustion therefore no indoor air pollutants are possible. Conventional gas and propane systems require chimneys to vent away harmful carbon monoxide and other dangerous gases.
EASY TO MAINTAIN
A properly installed ECONAR closed-loop heat pump requires very little maintenance aside from regularly maintaining the air filter and air blower assembly. Water coil maintenance is recommended on open-loop installations as water quality can greatly affect the heat exchanger efficiency.

HOW EFFICIENT IS GEOTHERMAL HEATING?
If I said up to 500% efficient, would you believe me? Yes, that’s right. Depending on individual circumstances savings can be that high. On average though operating costs with ECONAR heat pumps are about 75% less that electric heating devices and 50% less than air source heat pumps. Cooling costs are 25-50% lower when compared to traditional air conditioners. In addition, because hot water is supplied by the heat pump at these efficiencies and higher, your overall savings are increased even more.
A GEOTHERMAL HEAT PUMP CAN PROVIDE 100% OF YOUR HEATING AND COOLING NEEDS
One of the reasons a heat pump is so versatile and efficient is its ability to heat and cool as one system. With a flick of a switch on your indoor thermostat the eothermal heat pump changes from heating to cooling. GeoSource heat Pumps can be used in residential or commercial applications. Common geothermal applications include: homes, churches, banks, schools, car washes, fish farms, ice rinks, swimming pools, restaurants, and anywhere heating, cooling and hot water is required. Check out the variety of geothermal applications presented as Case Studies or the Product Guide to determine which solution fits your needs.
