Benefits of GSHP


Key benefits of Ground Source Heat Pumps:

  • Simultaneously heat & cool different parts of the same building.
  • Very quiet users do not know when the system is operating.
  • Can be set up in multiple zones, with each zone having an individual room control.
  • Greater freedoms in building design due to 50-80% less mechanical room space.
  • No outside equipment to hide, eliminating vandalism and roof top units.
  • Pipes have 50-year life expectancy.
  • All electric, which eliminates multiple utility services.
  • Expel boiler and chiller maintenance.
  • Ground heat exchanger is maintenance free and will last 40+ years.

How does a GSHP installation save you money:

  • Very competitive on initial costs and lower lifecycle costs than most HVAC systems.
  • Savings of 25-50% on energy consumption.
  • Lower peak demand, lowering your operating costs.
  • Water heated with waste heat from air conditioning at no cost in the summer and at substantial savings in the winter.
  • Some utilities offer rebates or incentives to their customers who purchase GSHPs.

What are the environmental benefits:

  • Lower emissions is a direct effect from reducing the amount of natural resources required to power the system.
  • Minimize ozone layer destruction by using sealed refrigeration systems, which seldom or never have to be recharged.
  • Use underground loops to transfer heat, with no external venting and no air pollution.
  • Very energy efficient, with the earth providing over 70% of the energy required to heat and cool.
