For efficient, cost effective heating and
cooling, many businesses are turning to ground source heat pumps instead of
traditional commercial furnaces and air conditioners. Their versatility makes a
ground source heat pump a great option for nearly all types commercial
properties, and they can be used in new construction or retrofit for existing
structures.
Commercial benefits of ground source heat
pumps:
- Dual heating and cooling capabilities- cool certain areas while heating others
- Zoning compatibility provides increased control over energy consumptions and the comfort of those inside
- 50-year warranties on ground loop piping
- Quiet operation, eliminating disruptions
- Eliminate copper theft risks of outdoor air conditioning units
- Lower maintenance needs and cost
- Requires less indoor space to house mechanical equipment
Ground source heat pumps offer commercial
savings:
- Longer equipment life means less replacement cost versus traditional commercial heating and cooling systems
- Little maintenance needs, reducing facility maintenance expenses
- Energy savings of up to 50% annually
- Save on water heating by using waste heat from the ground source heat pump’s air conditioning cycle
- Installing a ground source heat pump may qualify your company for rebates from your utility providers, as well as federal tax credits for building owners
- Lower your facility’s emissions level by using clean, geothermal energy instead of burning fossil fuels
- Reduce pollution with no external venting in the system’s design
- Eliminate the need for gas or other utilities used in heating and cooling- ground source heat pump systems are total electric
Ground source heat pumps and geothermal
systems offer great advantages for businesses and other organizations occupying
commercial facilities. Going geothermal can greatly reduce your facility’s
operating costs and will help you develop an environmentally-conscious
corporate identity. Smith Sustainable Design is an experienced commercial
geothermal system designer and installer, and can help your business make the
switch to ground source heat pumps to heat and cool your facility. Contact us
today to discuss your energy needs.
A geothermal heat pump taps into the abundant free solar heat energy stored in the earth through a series of underground pipes (an earth loop) to heat your home during the winter and cool it during the summer. The energy source is free and renewable, and in many cases the monthly savings an energy-efficient geothermal system offers will surpass any payments associated with the installation of the new system.
