Newnan Geothermal Technology
A major source of energy is right under your feet.
Your own backyardhas the potential to be your source of heating and
cooling comfort. Now you can get safe, reliable, energy efficient heating and cooling from
one piece of equipment. Geothermal energy represents the leading edge of heating and
cooling technology. It moves heat energy to and from the earth to heat and cool your indoor
environment. And compared to ordinary systems, geothermal technology can save you 30% to
60% on your monthly energy bills. Geothermal is the safest, cleanest, most reliable space
conditioning system you can buy.
Geothermal energy is an unlimited resource.The lot surrounding a suburban home or
other building contains a vast reservoir of low temperature thermal energy, typically 10
times that required over an entire heating season. This resource is constantly resupplied
by the sun, the surrounding earth, and heat rejected while cooling during the summer. The
universal definition of geothermal is "...pertaining to the heat of the earth." By using
the earth to provide up to 50% of a building's total heating and cooling needs, GHP systems
are truly geothermal energy made practical.
Four basic types of geothermal energy
sources:
Horizontal loopsare often
considered when adequate land surface is available. Pipes are
placed in trenches, in lengths that range from 100 to 400
feet.
Vertical loopsare the ideal
choice when available land surface is limited. Drilling
equipment is used to bore small-diameter holes from 75 to 300
feet deep.
Pond (lake) loopsare very economical
to install when a body of water is available, because excavation
costs are virtually eliminated. Coils of pipe are simply placed on
the bottom of the pond or lake.
Open loopsystems are
the fourth type and utilize ground water as a direct energy
source. In ideal conditions, an open loop application can be
the most economical type of geothermal system.

Four times the efficiency.
A geothermal system uses the Earth's thermal properties in conjunction with electricity to
provide unprecedented efficiency. For every unit of electricity the system uses, it
provides four units of heating energy, giving a geothermal system a 400% efficiency rating
on average. These numbers can translate into real savings on your utility bills
year-round.
Here are some advantages for Geothermal
ownership.
Lower operating costs:The Geothermal system operates more efficiently than
ordinary heating and air conditioning systems-30% to 60% in most cases.
Comfortable:Because the unit uses the relatively stable temperature
of the earth as an energy source, you are assured of constant, even winter heating and
better humidity control in summer.
Safe and clean:No flame, no flue, no odors, just safe reliable
operation year after year.
Flexibility: The unit provides heating, central air conditioning and hot water all from the
same compact unit.
Economical Water Heating:Water heating can be a significant
energy expense. Geothermal units can reduce the high cost of water heating by as much
as 66%.
Attractive:The completely self contained indoor unit needs no
noisy, unsightly outside condensing unit.
Environment:The system emits no carbon dioxide, which is considered
a major contributor to environmental air pollution.

What
is a ground source heat pump?
Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are electrically powered systems that tap the stored
energy of the greatest solar collector in existence: the earth. These systems use the
earth's relatively constant temperature to provide heating, cooling, and hot water for
homes and commercial buildings.
How do ground source heat pumps
work?
Ground source heat pumps can be categorized as having closed or open loops, and those loops
can be installed in three ways: horizontally, vertically, or in a pond/lake. The type
chosen depends on the available land areas and the soil and rock type at the installation
site. These factors will help determine the most economical choice for installation of the
ground loop.
For closed loop systems, water or antifreeze solution is circulated through plastic pipes
buried beneath the earth's surface. During the winter, the fluid collects heat from the
earth and carries it through the system and into the building. During the summer, the
system reverses itself to cool the building by pulling heat from the building, carrying it
through the system and placing it in the ground. This process creates free hot water in the
summer and delivers substantial hot water savings in the winter.
Open loop systems operate on the same principle as closed loop systems and can be installed
where an adequate supply of suitable water is available and open discharge is feasible.
Benefits similar to the closed loop system are obtained.
