Geothermal units are similar to ordinary heat pumps, but use energy stored just below ground-level to provide heating, air conditioning and hot water. In the winter, heat is brought in through a loop, concentrated, and then delivered throughout the home to utilize that stored energy. During summer, excess heat in the home is removed and put back into the earth. Because geothermal units use the earth’s natural heat, they are among the most efficient and comfortable heating and cooling technologies currently available.
A GeoStar unit can reduce a homeowner’s annual costs for heating, cooling and hot water by as much as 60 percent, per year, according to the company.
The GeoStar line includes the G Series geothermal heat pumps with units available from 2 to 6 tons, and up to 4.8 COP and 28 EER, plus console units and indoor and outdoor splits; and the Q Series all-in-one geothermal boiler, furnace and air conditioner; and the Y Series geothermal heat pumps with optional hot water heater. Accessories make the GeoStar brand complete with thermostats, geothermal storage tanks and air handlers. The entire line is also available in water source commercial versions, including horizontal, vertical, S.C.A.V., and reversible chillers up to 50 tons. All units are AHRI certified and ENERGY STAR rated, as applicable.
