Geothermal Heating and Cooling can be adapted to so many situations it is hard to list. See our FAQ page for better details. Generally, Geothermal or Ground Source Heat Pumps utilize the Earth’s constant temperature (70-72 degrees in South Texas) to absorb heat , or dispose of heat to heat or cool your home. This is done through a series of underground water loops, or via well water, a pond, or even a swimming pool! Simply put, when cooling….What do you think would take less energy, to transfer heat from you house to 70 degree dirt or 95 degree summer air? Obviously much less power is needed to transfer your home’s excess heat to 70 degree soil, than 95 degree air. In heating mode, how much energy does it take to transfer 70 ground temp to warm your home to ….well 70? Not much!
New units achieve comparable SEER ratings of 35+, and can produce 5 units of heat, for every unit of heat energy applied! |

The Geothermal Heat Pump uses contact to the ground to transfer energy, instead of a noisy outdoor unit with a fan, passing energy to the air. There are 4 basic ways to achieve this:
1) Closed loop system: (Most Common) Utilize a small circulating pump and lots of piping in the ground to transfer energy to or from the earth. Typically requires 500-600 lf of pipe in contact with the earth for every ton of load. Can be installed in horizontal ditches (requires lots of ditching and room in your yard), or vertical bores typically 250-300’ deep that can be spaced 20’ apart, so smaller areas can handle substantial energy loads. PROS: Long life, high dependability. CONS: Higher up front cost 2) Open loop systems: Basically take water from the ground, (well water) use it to heat or cool your home, and then dump the water, to a pond, ditch, or sometimes to an injection well, the opposite of a water supply well, that returns water back to the aquifer it came from, un touched, other than warmer or cooler than it’s original temperature. PROS: Lower up front cost CONS: Water waste, system subject to ground water chemistry, adds load to water well. 3) Pond loops, A closed loop similar to an in ground loop, but uses piping on the bottom of a pond for heat transfer. PROS; Lower up front cost CONS: Need a pond close to house! 4) Pool loop: Not fully accepted in the geo community, but still effective. Similar in concept to the pond loop, but uses your swimming pool for extracting or depositing heat. Your pool will super cool in the winter (45-49 degrees) but warm early in spring, and stay warm later in fall for extended swimming season. Depending on size of pool, may require a ground loop to supplement, or an aerator (fountain) in summer to keep pool a little cooler. PROS: Lower up front cost, Helps heat pool in early/late season CONS: May over heat pool in summer, pool alone may not handle heat load. |
