Geothermal
Glassman Corporation is a leader in high performance geothermal heating and cooling systems. Geothermal systems offer the energy-conscious owner low operating costs and environmentally responsible operation. An additional benefit is improved comfort.
A geothermal system taps into the earth to capture free, renewable energy. The earth absorbs about 47% of the sun’s energy that reaches it, storing that energy in the ground. A geothermal system extracts that free energy for heating during the winter. In summer, the system removes heat from the home and dumps it into the cooler earth. This transfer of heat energy is done through a series of pipes buried in the ground, sunk in a pond, or through well water. Because it moves heat instead of burning fossil fuel to generate it, a geothermal system is more energy efficient.
Geothermal heat pumps also provide warmer indoor air temperatures than conventional air source heat pumps. Because they are sized to run significantly more than a standard furnace, they don’t ‘blast’ hot air followed by an extended time when air is not being circulated. A geothermal heat pump provides steady, warm air making it the most comfortable heating system available.
For cooling, the geothermal heat pump dehumidifies better than conventional air conditioning systems. Lower humidity equals greater comfort.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency calls geothermal systems “the most energy efficient, environmentally clean, and cost effective space conditioning systems available today.”
Why choose geothermal?
- Economical. Savings up to 60% on operating costs compared to ordinary systems.
- Comfort. Geothermal heat pumps provide warmer indoor air temperatures than conventional air source heat pumps. Because they are sized to run significantly more than a standard furnace, they don’t ‘blast’ hot air followed by an extended time when air is not being circulated. A geothermal heat pump provides steady, warm air making it the most comfortable heating system available.
- For cooling, the geothermal heat pump dehumidifies better than conventional air conditioning systems. Lower humidity equals greater comfort.
- Environmentally friendly. Geothermal is a clean, green, and renewable technology.
- Reliable. Geothermal units have a longer life expectancy than ordinary air conditioners and heat pumps and operate for years with little maintenance because of fewer moving parts
- Quiet. Since no outdoor unit is required, geothermal units are housed in fully insulated cabinets for quiet operation.
- Safe, clean. No flame, no flue, no odors.
- Tax savings. Geothermal systems are eligible for tax credits up to 30% of the cost of the project. Ask for details!
