Geothermal Service and Installation from The A/C Guys in St. Simons and Brunswick, GA

How Geothermal Heat Pumps Work

Like conventional heat pumps, geothermal systems extract heat from one location and move it to another. Most use a closed-loop cycle to get the job done. During the summer, a heat exchanger transfers the collected heat into loops of plastic tubing buried in the ground.

In the winter, the heated fluid in the ground tubing is compressed to make it hot enough to keep you comfortably warm. Where an adequate supply of groundwater is present, open-loop systems offer a practical alternative. Open-loop systems use well water instead of antifreeze or refrigerant to transfer heat.

Geothermal Home Cooling and Heating Installations

Whether you own a small home or a sprawling estate, chances are you’ll benefit from a residential geothermal heat pump. In a typical geothermal installation, the subterranean tubing is buried in shallow horizontal loops. When outdoor space is limited, geothermal wells can be drilled vertically into the ground for a non-intrusive installation.

In either case, the ground loops are engineered to last more than 50 years. Our NATE-certified technicians have the skills and experience it takes to drill geothermal wells and install a long-lasting system.

Benefits of Geothermal HVAC

A geothermal installation is an investment that rewards you with significant savings on monthly energy bills. They’re up to 65 percent more efficient than traditional HVAC systems. They’re incredibly versatile too. They can be connected to existing forced-air systems or installed as ductless units for room-by-room comfort.

Geothermal is also the optimal choice for hydronic systems like radiant flooring. A federal tax credit of up to 30 percent is currently available to offset the cost of your installation. This tax incentive is scheduled to step down in value and expire at the end of 2020.
