Connecticut Wells Geothermal Heating and Cooling
Discover the Power Of Geothermal Heating And Cooling
Geothermal heating and cooling is an innovative, eco-friendly method to regulate the temperature in your home or business. Unlike traditional systems that rely heavily on outside air temperatures, geothermal systems tap into the earth’s constant underground temperature to provide heating, cooling, and even hot water at remarkably high efficiencies.
How It Works
The secret to geothermal heating and cooling lies beneath the surface. Just a few feet below the earth’s crust, the ground remains at a relatively constant temperature throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions. Geothermal systems take advantage of this natural resource through a series of underground pipes called a loop.
During winter, the system circulates water through this loop, absorbing the earth’s warmth and bringing it indoors to heat your space. In the summer, the process reverses. The system extracts heat from your home and transfers it to the ground, leaving your living or working environment cool and comfortable.
Advantages Of Using Geothermal In Your Design
- “Green” technology: smaller carbon footprint, eliminates fossil fuel usage
- Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) credits
- New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) credits (in New York)
Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs)
Endorsed by the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, GSHPs are a cost-effective, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly way of heating and cooling buildings. GSHPs reliably deliver quality air conditioning and heating, on demand, in every season. GSHPs are appropriate for new construction as well as retrofits of older buildings, and their flexible design requirements make them a good choice for almost any commercial property, including schools, high-rises, government buildings, apartments, and restaurants.
Design Advantages
- Lower operating and maintenance costs
- Durability
- Energy conservation
- Flexibility – GSHPs can simultaneously heat and cool different parts of the same building
- Very quiet – users do not know when the system is operating
- Greater freedom in building design – GSHPs take up 50-80% less mechanical room space than traditional heading/cooling systems
- No outside equipment to hide, eliminating vandalism and roof top units
- All electric, which eliminates multiple utility services
HVAC Contractors
Connecticut Wells specializes in geothermal well drilling and ground looping for residential and commercial projects of all sizes. We partner with HVAC contractors to install geothermal heating and cooling systems. We work with large and small contractors and have the experience, staff, and equipment to help you complete a geothermal system that meets the highest quality standards in the trade. Feel free to view our projects and speak to our customers. Then give us a call if we can help.
The Geothermal Opportunity
As fuel prices continue to rise, your clients are probably becoming more aware of alternate ways to heat and cool their homes. As a result, your business may have experienced a dramatic drop in service calls and installations over the past two years. More and more HVAC contractors are considering geothermal drilling to diversify and grow revenues. As the premier geothermal driller in the Northeast, Connecticut Wells works closely with HVAC contractors who want to change their focus from fossil fuels to “greener” technologies.
Using Heat Loss Studies to Plan Geothermal Drilling
Most HVAC contractors already conduct heat loss studies on customers’ homes. These same studies can be used to “size” homes for geothermal heating and cooling systems.
Once Connecticut Wells receives a heat loss measurement, we provide a well field necessary to meet the building’s geothermal drilling needs. Once the wells are in place, Connecticut Wells provides the lines through the building’s foundation wall, whether individual or reverse-returned.
IGSHPA Certification and Geothermal Drilling Experience
Your geothermal drilling contractor should be certified with the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association (IGSHPA) and have experience installing geothermal heating and cooling systems. Connecticut Wells has both: we are certified through IGSHPA and the National Ground Water Association (NGWA).
Whether it’s a small house needing two or three wells or a larger commercial project requiring several hundred wells, Connecticut Wells can provide all the exterior service needed for your geothermal heating and cooling system projects.
Ready To Make The Switch?
Choosing geothermal heating and cooling for your home or business isn’t just an investment in your property—it’s an investment in the planet. With lower operating costs, reduced environmental impact, and the support of federal and state-level incentives, there’s never been a better time to explore geothermal solutions.
