A Geothermal Heat Pump - an ideal choice for a
warm home this winter

• No one likes cold floors and especially at winter
  time. The time you should start considering floor
  heating options shouldn't be in the dead of
  winter when everything is heavy with cold.

3

• Some type of heating solution should be found
  from as far back as a summer allowing for
  enough time for the selection and installation of
  the chosen heating option. One of the more
  affordable options is a geothermal heat pump.

• This type of heating system doesn't only heat
  your floors and keep them nice and toasty during
  winter or any other cold period, it also keeps
  the rest of your house nice and toasty warm for
  you and your family during winter.

6

• This type of heating system derives its power
  from below the earth's surface thus making it an
  affordable option for heating your home. This
  heating system was first developed back in the
  1850's with the first commercial model being
  built and installed in the state of Oregon in the
  1940's.

7

• Since then, geothermal heating had steadily been
  gaining in popularity with more than 80,000
  geothermal heating units being installed every
  year.

• Geothermal heating systems came in two forms
  open loop which dominated the market in the
  second form (a closed loop system) became a more
  economically viable option. The closed loop
  system allowed for greater commercialization of
  this type of heating system which is how it came
  to be as we know it today.

• A geothermal heat pump has three primary parts
  a closed ground loop, a heat pump and an air
  delivery system. The closed ground loop is buried
  in the grounds near the house or building, some
  type of fluid (in most cases water in others some
  type of liquid coolant) is circulated through the
  pipes where depending on the season it either
  brings in the heat (during winter) or
  relinquishes heat (other seasons.

11

• In the case of the air delivery system, this uses
  a series of ducts and or pipe systems to
  circulate the heated or cooled air throughout the
  building. The more traditional (and economic)
  closed loop system can come in two different
  positions horizontal and vertical.

12

• The vertical positioning also referred to as a
  well is used primarily in commercial settings
  as they take up a lot less room than their
  horizontal counterparts.

• The horizontal closed loop system is used mainly
  in residential settings. In recent times, there
  has been an increase in the number of new
  constructions that choose this as their heating
  option.

15

• The horizontal closed loop system while it does
  require more space, because of its configuration
  it ends up saving the homeowner more. The
  geothermal heating system allows for greater
  flexibility in terms of the general design thus
  making it a more viable heating option for
  homeowners looking to put in a cost effective
  heating option in their homes.

16

• When it comes down to a choice to be made for
  heating your home, do the research and give
  careful consideration to all of your available
  options. Ensure that whatever decision is made,
  its the best and most affordable one for you.
