The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season has begun. As we have done in past seasons, we want to share some resources that will help you prepare your pool and spa equipment for a storm.
We installed GeoThermal heating systems for a 1,700-square-foot home and an 8,000-square-foot pool, and we want to show you the layout of this installation.
The first question we have to answer any time we install a geothermal heating system is how we use the earth to heat the water, and there are three main options to do so:
For this job, we went with the third option. At the beginning of the video, you can see me standing outside the home by the supply well where we have a pump submerged in the ground that’s regulated by internal controls.
As we move into the garage, we find the controls for the water we’re bringing into the home from the well. There are several items to take note of here. The first is the variable frequency drive, which controls the speed of the well pump and ensures there’s no unnecessary energy consumption and the home gets the gallons it needs for the air conditioner, heating of the pool, or both.
Next to that is the intermediate plate heat exchanger—a stainless-steel device that separates the well water from the air conditioning system. Underground water is very unstable, and geothermal heating not only saves energy, but it also protects the unit from underground water.
We’re here this morning at VillageWalk to discuss the difference between GeoThermal heating and gas heating, which they used to have here. In 2008, VillageWalk asked us for an estimate to convert their pool heating system from gas to GeoThermal. GeoThermal pool heating works by simply transferring heat from the nearby lake water to the pool water through the air conditioning cycle. The two waters never mix, and it’s one of the most efficient ways to heat the pool.

Our goal is to have a symbiotic relationship with our clients. Rick Harding, the Director of Maintenance for the Regal Oaks and Encantada Resort in Kissimmee, has entrusted us with installing a GeoThermal system in a third resort pool. We appreciate being able to work on these projects with him. Here’s what Rick had to say:

Today we’re here at Countryside Verandas to do a post-installation walk-through of the GeoThermal units that were installed. Follow along in the video above to gain an understanding of how these units work to regulate your pool temperatures year-round.

Today we’re at Heritage Pines again with Herb Hurly, the general manager, and Patrick Morse, the energy consultant who put together the proposal and quote for their project. To see the first two videos on Heritage Pines and their installation, watch part one here and part two here. They’ll save $33,000 per year with their new system (compared to using gas), with a 3.9-year return on investment. Those numbers are from the old gas prices; in January, natural gas was $2.05 per metric million, and now it’s $4.90 per metric million, meaning they’re saving even more.

As all of you know, gas prices have been going up recently. From the beginning of 2021 to today, gas prices have more than doubled. We all feel this at the gas pump, but this also affects how much it costs to heat your pool. Today we’ll be talking with experts from our team about what they’re seeing in the field and how GeoThermal systems can save you tons of money on heating.

We get asked all the time, how much can you save with geothermal. It’s a great question, but it isn’t one that is straightforward, you will save XYZ dollars. There is a myriad of factors the geothermal energy professionals from Symbiont Service will explain when they pay a site visit to your home or office building in Englewood, Florida. 
Geothermal is a great way to lower your carbon footprint and heat and cool your home or office in an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient way. Geothermal helps regulate the heating and cooling in your office or home without having to deal with natural gas, oil or propane.
Is it worth it to make the switch to a geothermal system? It is a personal decision, but we know that our customers see a return on their investment and are very happy with their decision to make the switch.
