Hamilton, OH Geothermal Installation
A geothermal heat pump system consists of two major components: the pipes installed beneath your property to absorb the consistent ground temperature throughout the year, and the heat pump that provides heating and cooling inside your home. When having a new geothermal system installed, the most important factor to consider is how the pipes are installed.
Geothermal systems are installed as a closed loop or open loop pipe system. In closed loop systems, the pipes are installed horizontally, which requires less drilling than vertical loops, which need to be buried at around 100 to 400 feet deep. You may also have the choice of installing the pipes as a coiled system in a nearby pond or lake. In open loop systems, the pipes are not enclosed, but these require a significant amount of groundwater, as well as a well and pump. For this reason, they are less common.
Geothermal Heat Pump Replacement
Ideally, the piping installed under your property will not need to be replaced for many decades. However, the heat pump will have the same lifespan as any other type of HVAC heat pump. If you’ve had a geothermal system for several years, you may want to consider a replacement, both to improve efficiency and ensure ongoing operation. We can help you select the right heat pump as a replacement and ensure it is installed properly for continued smooth operation.
