Ground source heat pumps, or geothermal systems, use the earth as a heat source in winter and a heat sink in the summer. They can be purchased from Ingrams Water and Air, Water Furnace and Xcel Energy.

The size of a heat pump that you can use for a pool which is 18 feet wide by 33 feet long and has a depth of 4.5 feet can vary depending on specific brand of heat pump you wish to purchase. The minimum size of heat pump for an above ground pool of this size in 102,000 BTU.


Is there a difference between geothermal heat pump and traditional heat pump?

Yes, there is a difference between a geothermal heat pump and a traditional heat pump. A geothermal heat pump uses the ground or water as a heat source in the winter and a heat sink in the summer, whereas a traditional heat pump typically uses outdoor air as the heat source or sink. Geothermal heat pumps are more energy efficient and environmentally friendly compared to traditional heat pumps.


Is electric thermal storage heating better than geothermal heating?

Im really not sure of the question but if you are refering to using an electric immersion heater in a thermal store over a ground source heat pump, the immersion heater has a COP of 1 and the ground source heat pump has a COP of 3. So 3 times better.


What is the life expectancy of a heat pump?

It depends on how much your heat pump is used, checked, serviced, and how well it is maintained. (Always have your HVAC systems regularly maintained to increase life expectancy!) The usage of a heat pump varies greatly depending on where you live. Other factors can include if it is an air-source or ground-source. So, a very general ball park life expectancy of a heat pump is anywhere from 15-25 years for the inside components.

Geothermal heat pumps can heat homes by?

By using the ground as the source for heat, much like an airsource heat pump uses air to remove the heat from the air on a cold day a geothermal system using the more consistent earth as the source for pulling heat out of the ground to heat your home in the winter and cool your home in the summer. The earths more consistent temperatures allow the system to work better than an air source system and in general the Geothermal system is more effiencent than any other type of heating used in homes.


Do you have the recent heat pump prices ?

A small through-the-wall or window unit (air-source heat pump) to cool and heat a single room runs about $500 to $1,500 US dollars. A whole-house system with existing ductwork (a typical split system air-source heat pump runs $2,000 to $5,000 US dollars for an average home. Complete installation of a geothermal heat pump (ground-source or water-source) runs $10,000 -$25,000 or more, depending on the length and depth of the underground pipes, soil conditions and other excavation and installation factors. Food for thought - in an older home you may need to hire an electrician to upgrade the electrical panel to 200 amps, which can cost an additional $1,300 -$3,000.


Can a heat pump effectively replace a furnace for heating purposes?

When should you use em heat on the thermostat?

EM (or emergency heat) can be used if you have a problem with your other heat source such as a heat pump. In most cases, you will not need this but what it does is bi-passes the primary heat source and allows your secondary heat source (normally your furnace) to become the primary.
