Geothermal heating systems are gaining popularity throughout the USA and Canada. Currently, the ground source heat pumps are capable to deliver amazing COP – coefficient of performance which is around five times or more. This means, the return on investment will be faster than ever.
Over the years, geothermal systems have been considered as the most popular green energy alternatives available for both northern and southern climates. These systems are able to deliver both heating and cooling that offers greater flexibility to every homeowner.
These systems are designed specifically to take advantage of the sun like any other solar powered systems available. They do it indirectly by harvesting solar energy which is absorbed by earth year-round.
The top surface of the earth starts freezing in cold climates. Under this level, there’s a plenty of heat energy which requires pulling out and transferring inside a home or business.
However, a geothermal system absorbs energy from the ground by using a series of interconnected piping and heat transfer fluid that flows through the pipes. The more piping and the more diameters, the more contact with the soil and the more energy the system is able to transfer.
The piping the system requires will depend on the size of heat pump you will use and the condition of soil. Moreover, 123 Zero Energy provides easy to install and operate DIY geothermal systems available in properly calculated sizing depending on personalized requirements and location.
There are four commonly available geothermal systems to choose from. Your decision depends on the local topography, land or water space available. These systems include horizontal loop, vertical loop, pond loop and well water.
Out of all the varieties, the most and simple to install units are the horizontal ground loop system and the well loop. Water loops are perfect alternatives especially if you have accessibility to lake.
Horizontal Loop –
This system is ideal, if you have sufficient space. Its sealed piping loop can be buried inside the trenches that range from three to six feet deep.
Vertical Loop –
Vertical loop kit is perfect, especially if you have limited space. The sealed piping loop can be added in small holes that range from 150-400 feet depth. These holes are installed by using perfectly-drilling rig.
Pond Loop –
This type of geothermal kit is right, if there’s a water body near to your location. Generally, the sealed piping loop can be submerged underneath the surface.
Well Loop –
If you have sufficient quality and quantity of ground water, you can consider installing well loop geothermal system. The well water can be used directly in the system rather than the sealed piping loop.
Bottom Line –
When it comes to investing in geothermal systems, you should look no further than 123 Zero Energy. We specialize in providing pre-engineered geothermal heating kits ensuring optimal performance and maximum efficiency.
