WaterFurnace Geothermal
Heating & Cooling System

WaterFurnace Geothermal Heating and Cooling System is an investment in affordable comfort and, an investment in the preservation of our environment for generations to come. The secret of a WaterFurnace system’s clean, efficient operation is the earth’s ability to store heat. In fact, 47 percent of the sun’s energy that reaches our planet is absorbed into the earth. That’s 500 times more energy than all of humanity would need in a year! And it’s an unlimited source of energy.

Installing a WaterFurnace system in a typical home is the environmental equivalent of planting 750 trees or taking two cars off the road. That’s because WaterFurnace systems don’t burn fossil fuels, and they don’t emit carbon dioxide, which has been associated with the greenhouse effect and global warming.

The Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium says current geothermal systems save more than 14 million barrels of crude oil every year. And because the only energy needed to run geothermal systems is a small amount of electricity, they reduce the need for new coal-powered electric power plants. Result? Cleaner air and less acid rain.

Geothermal heat pumps utilize some of the same technology found in your home’s refrigerator. They are both devices that move heat energy. Your refrigerator removes heat from the food and transfers it to the air in your home. Your geothermal heat pump removes heat energy from the earth to heat your home and removes heat energy from inside your home to cool it.

A Ground Source Heat Pump System consists of a water-to-air or water-to-water heat pump, connected to a series of long plastic pipe buried below the earth’s surface, or placed in a pond. These systems can also utilize well water instead of the earth loop. As fluid from the earth loop or well water is moved through the unit, the heat pump transfers thermal energy that heats or cools the home or building.
