Geothermal Energy
Geothermal systems utilize a high-efficiency heat pump system specially designed for ground source heat exchange. Geothermal, or ground-source heat pump systems, operate much like an air-source system, such as a window unit air conditioner or refrigerator. The heat pump, which is powered by electricity, pulls heat from one area, called a source, and transfers it to another, called a sink. The advantage of geothermal exchange systems is in the efficiency gained from the infinite heating and cooling source of the earth.
In the summer, geothermal systems provide a source of cooling and in the winter they generate heat. Geothermal systems utilize the consistent temperatures found deep in the ground to pull and reject heat through a heat pump. Homes that utilize forced hot air, central air conditioning, and radiant floor heating are best suited for geothermal heating. We design geothermal systems to fully heat and air condition homes. A typical geothermal system will reduce a home’s heating and air conditioning costs by half.
Nexamp provides turnkey integration of geothermal systems for homeowners.
Our trained and certified geothermal system integrators make the process for new or existing homes simple. We believe full service turnkey integration is the most simple and cost-effective service for our clients -- Nexamp provides site-specific analysis, cost estimates, design, permitting, construction, and life-long maintenance of our systems.
Geothermal wells are the key to energy savings.
Heating and air conditioning are your home’s largest utility expenses. The savings generated by geothermal heat pump systems vary by region and climate. Regions with both high heating and air conditioning loads enjoy the greatest returns on geothermal investments. Savings for energy efficient homes in the Northeast, for example, may be as high as 40 to 50 percent, substantially offsetting the home’s carbon footprint.
Annual inspections and maintenance are the key to long-term system durability and performance.
Nexamp is committed to supporting your system’s lifecycle operations and maintenance with our own professional technicians.
