Geothermal
Geothermal power is power extracted from heat stored in the earth. Geothermal technology is the most cost effective, energy efficient and renewable alternative to today’s traditional oil, gas and propane heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems.
 
How It Works
Unlike outdoor temperatures that fluctuate with the changing seasons, the temperature of the soil four to six feet beneath the ground remains relatively consistent year-round. A geothermal system taps into earth’s natural heating and cooling properties through an underground loop system connected to a heat pump in your home.

Geothermal technology takes advantage of this constant renewable energy source by combining a series of loops installed outside underground with a heat pump system inside that looks very similar to a conventional furnace. This combination of high performance technology allows us to tap into the earth’s natural heating and cooling properties to consistently and evenly distribute warm or cool air in your home or office throughout each season. An environmentally friendly antifreeze solution or pure water carries energy directly from the closed or open loop system into the heat pump inside your home or office. In the winter, the heat pump acts as a furnace, distributing the heat throughout your home using the system’s heat exchanger and compressor. In the summer, it acts as an air conditioner, collecting the heat from your home and distributing it into your domestic hot water tank or back into the earth through the loop system.
 
Not only can a geothermal system provide you with year round indoor comfort, it can also provide inexpensive domestic hot water, supplementing or replacing your conventional domestic hot water heater. Click here to see some photos of a Geothermal installation.
 
Northern Air ClimateCare offers several Geothermal options:
 
GeoSmart Premium G
  • Forced air system which features advanced technology and innovative components setting a new standard for heating and cooling efficiency while providing you with exceptional energy savings.
  • The Premium G will meet heating, cooling and partial domestic hot water needs (optional) offering you years of worry-free comfort from the moment the system is installed.
  • Provides quiet, consistent and comfortable heating and cooling throughout every room in your home and offers superior humidity control.
  • It can dramatically reduce your annual costs for heating and cooling by as much as 75% compared with conventional furnaces and air conditioners.
 
 
GeoSmart Premium Q
  • All-in-one quad system will meet needs for heating, central air conditioning and on demand hot water production for radiant floors in one convenient package.
  • Can provide energy savings up to 80% compared with ordinary furnaces and air conditioners. For every dollar of electrical energy it uses to run the heat pump, it generates almost five dollars worth of energy output to heat and cool your home, representing an efficiency rating of 500%!
 
 
GeoSmart Premium H
 
  • Hydronic forced air system, which have become an industry standard for high efficiency home and water heating.
  • Radiant floor heating, domestic hot water, pool and/or spa heating and melt ice and snow.
  • Sophisticated state-of-the-art components that make it the preferred choice for high performance home and hot water heating.
  • It heats water at a fraction of the cost of ordinary boilers and water heaters. For every unit of electricity used by the Premium H to operate the heat pump, it generates an uncomparable four units of ‘free’ energy from the earth. That equates into an efficiency rating of 400%!
