Plumbers Inc offers a wide variety of heating options, including geothermal, electric and gas boilers, forced-air, and in-floor hydronic heat.
Geothermal
A geothermal system consists of a ground source heat exchanger (open or closed loop), a distribution system (hydronic, forced air, etc), a geothermal heat pump, and an external source of electricity. The heat pump uses "free" earth energy to heat, cool, and provide hot water to homes and other buildings.
How does it work?
A ground source heat pump system uses the process of extracting (heating mode) or rejecting (cooling mode) heat energy below ground. This is done either by circulating a closed loop fluid through the ground or by using ground source water that is stored below ground level where stable temperatures exist.
The ground source heat pump then efficiently processes this heat energy by a closed refrigeration circuit to heat or cool indoor environmental spaces to create year round comfort. It may also be used for industrial applications. Ground source heat pumps rely on natural renewable energies to function. They are not dependent on combustion energies. Compared to ordinary systems, geothermal technology can save you 30% to 60% on your monthly energy bills.
Geothermal energy is an unlimited resource
The lot surrounding a home contains a vast reservoir of low temperature thermal energy, typically 10 times that required over an entire heating season. This resource is constantly resupplied by the sun, the surrounding earth, and heat rejected while cooling during the summer.
Four times the efficiency
A geothermal system uses the earth's thermal properties in conjunction with electricity to provide unprecedented efficiency. For every unit of electricity the system uses, it provides four units of heating energy, giving a geothermal system a 400% efficiency rating on average.
Electric and gas boilers
Whether you are installing a simple, single zone system or a system with multiple boilers and zones we have the boiler and accessories to meet your needs.
