Heat Pumps
Heat Pumps
With a geothermal heating system from Radiant Heat Limited bore holes or ground loops become a permanent power plant for your home.
You'll enjoy the benefits of the most comfortable, reliable, energy and cost effective heating system available on the market today.
Also, air to water systems are available depending on your site circumstances.
How does it work?
The earth absorbs almost 50% of all solar energy and remains a nearly constant temperature of 50-70 Deg. F.
Working with a bore hole system, geothermal heating and cooling systems utilize this constant temperature to exchange energy between your home and the earth as needed for heating.
With air to water the energy is taken from the surrounding air most systems will work with air temperatures as low as -20deg C
Throughout the year water circulating inside a sealed underground loop system absorbs heat from the earth and carries it to the geothermal unit. Here it is compressed to a higher temperature and sent as warm water to your indoor system for circulation throughout your home.
Benefits
Geothermal Heat Pumps offer unmatched benefits over traditional heating and cooling systems, including:
Lower operating costs:
Geothermal and air to water systems can cut utility bills by 30 to 50 percent compared to conventional heating systems.
Environmental impact:
Ground-source and air source heat is naturally renewable and non-polluting
Lower maintenance costs:
Life span:
A heat pump system can have a life expectancy of up to 30 years; bore hole loops are often warranted for up to 50 years.
Single system:
Heat pump equipment provides heating in one system.
Indoor comfort:
Heat pump systems eliminate the drafts common with conventional forced air systems.
Design flexibility:
Heat pump systems can be easily and inexpensively subdivided or expanded to fit building remodelling or additions.
Energy efficiency:
A heat pump can move more than three units of energy for every one unit of electrical energy used to power the system.
Safety:
No dangers of gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning.
