Geothermal Heat pumps

​Geothermal, also known as ground or water source, heat pumps do the same thing as what the air source heat pump does except a geothermal heat pump will use the ground or a nearby water source instead of using air. Although, geothermal heat pumps typically cost more to install, they’re more sturdy and reliable during more extreme conditions, and they will also reduce energy usage up to 60%. There is also such a thing as a dual-source heat pumps, which is a combination of an air source heat pump and a geothermal heat pump. The main disadvantage to the dual-source is that they are not as efficient as a geothermal heat pump itself, but they are more efficient than an air source heat pump by itself. If you’re wanting a geothermal heat pump, but cost is an issue then the dual source is a good option seeing as it costs much less to have installed than a geothermal heat pump. Now, there are four (4) different types of geothermal heat pumps:
  •  Vertical: vertical geothermal is more commonly used among commercial buildings and school buildings, because the land typically does not call for horizontal. Vertical geothermal can minimize the disruption of already existing landscape by only needing to drill holes 20 feet apart and about 100 to 400 feet deep.
  • ​Horizontal: if you aren’t looking to have some deep trenches carved into your yard, then this isn’t the option you’re looking for. Horizontal geothermal requires a trench of about four (4) feet deep and two (2) foot wide. The most cost efficient is the “slinky” effect, which is where the pipes are looped together making them fit into a smaller trench.​
  • Pond/lake: just as the name suggests, you would need a pond or lake nearby your house for this geothermal option to work. The lines for this geothermal heat pump would run straight from the building to the water and would be coiled together at about eight (8) feet underground in order to avoid freezing.
  • Open-loop: this type of geothermal heat pump would only work where there is a well or nearby surface body of water, where the water is clean and it has to be able to meet all local codes and regulation.
Our geothermal heating and air conditioning systems are available across Kentucky from Louisville to Lexington and from Ashland to Pikeville or anywhere in between. Contact us for your free estimate today!
