An investment
in energy savings, comfort and the environment
When you invest
in a WaterFurnace geothermal system, you can be assured that you
are
receiving thehighest quality, best performing heating and cooling
system available.
Here are some of the benefits of geothermal ownership:
Lower operating costs - typically 30%-60% in most cases over
ordinary heating and air conditioning systems.
Comfortable - with constant, even heating in winter and better
humidity control in summer.
Safe and clean - no flame, no flue, no odors - just safe, reliable
operation year after year.
Flexible - heating, central air conditioning and hot water all
from the same compact unit.
Attractive - needs no noisy, unsightly outside condensing unit.
Environmentally
friendly - emits no carbon dioxide which is considered a major contributor
to environmental air pollution.
Excellent warranties - with protection on all parts, accessories
and labor allowances up to 10 years.
| Closed
loop systems circulate a water-based solution through a "loop"
of small diameter, underground pipes. In cold weather this solution
absorbs heat from the earth and carries it to the geothermal
unit. The geothermal system amplifies the heat and delivers
it indoors. In warm weather the process is reversed, excess
heat is carried from indoors and into the earth. You keep refreshingly
cool during the hottest summer. |
|
|
| Vertical
loops are the ideal choice when available and surface is limited.
Drilling equipment is used to bore small-diameter holes from
75 to 300 feet deep. |
|
 |
Horizontal
loops are often considered when adequate land surface is available.
Pipes are placed in trenches, in lengths that range from 100
to 400 feet. |
|
 |
Open
loop systems utilize ground water as a direct energy source.
In ideal conditions, an open loop application can be the most
economical type of geothermal system. |
|
 |
Pond
(lake) loops 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. |
