Geothermal

With geothermal heat and cooling, GMCI can help you use your own backyard to heat and cool your house. Outdoor air temperatures fluctuate greatly throughout the year, but the temperature four to six feet below the surface remains relatively constant and moderate all year. A geothermal system circulates a water-based solution through a buried loop system to take advantage of these moderate and constant underground temperatures. While conventional furnaces and boilers burn a fuel to generate heat, a geothermal heat pump uses just electricity to simply move heat from the earth into your home. The most efficient fuel burning heater can reach efficiencies of around 95%, but a geothermal heat pump can move up to four units of heat for unit of electricity needed to power the system, resulting in a practical equivalence of over 400% efficiency. With geothermal technology, and using top lines like Bryant and Climate Master, a single piece of equipment can heat and cool your home in addition to providing you with hot water.
