Does GeoThermal Work In Cold Parts Of The Country
Is geothermal only effective to heat and cool a home or office or commercial building in Florida? Does geothermal work in cold parts of the country? We operate in Englewood and the surrounding areas of Florida, but we do know that geothermal works anywhere that a unit can be installed. It is energy efficient and effective at heating and cooling, no matter where you live.
The geothermal professionals at Symbiont Service can work with you to help you choose the most effective and efficient unit to heat and cool your home or office. As a bit of background, geothermal heating is a tool that can generate heat for a home or office and can also generate the power needed to cool the same home or office.
Does GeoThermal Work In Cold Parts Of The Country
A geothermal heat pump is connected to an underground system of pipes that are filled with a heat-conducting fluid then pushed into the ductwork of your home or office. The fluid in the underground system will circulate and generate as much heated or cooled air as the system demands and this is predicated on the temperatures on your home or office.
The reason heat pumps and geothermal work in cold climates is because they are operating underground where the temperature remains static year-round. The underground temperature where the system is located remains at a steady 55 degrees no matter if it’s Florida hot and humid or New York state middle of winter cold.
What do our #geothermal professionals do when working with you to size, design and intall a geothermal system at your home or commercial building?
- We determine the correct size and fit. You don’t want to have a system that is oversized because that isn’t efficient. A larger heater doesn’t mean you will heat the home faster, it means you’re wasting money.
- We will show you the correct size pump your home or office needs and why. It will measure the BTUs (the way heat energy is measured) and determine the correct size heat pump for your needs that will operate efficiently and effectively.
- The heat pump will also help determine the size of the loop system your geothermal system will require. The larger the heat pump and the larger the home or office is, the more loops your geothermal installation will require.
- The space in your yard will also be a factor once the heat pump and loop size system are determined.
- The size of your home or office and the number of rooms that need to be heated and cooled will be factored into all of the calculations for your geothermal system. You may want to consider zoned heating and cooling as that will heat and cool the areas you’re using and the ones that need it the most. Zoned heating and cooling is an energy efficient way to keep your home or office comfortable.
