Geothermal Energy: The World's Greenest Heating and Cooling System
When you’re looking for an environmentally friendly heating/cooling system at a reasonable cost, a geothermal heat pump might be the best choice for you. An EPA study of energy efficiency concluded a geothermal system is the greenest heating/cooling system.
The United States National Renewable Energy Laboratory states geothermal energy is more efficient and cost-effective than traditional home systems.
Geothermal energy can be found underground virtually everywhere in the United States.
A geothermal system costs more to install, but pays for itself within 5 to 10 years. With a lifetime of about 25 years for indoor equipment parts and more than 50 years for the ground loop, geothermal energy promises years of energy savings.
Homeowners may benefit from a number of federal, state, and local government geothermal energy incentives. Utility providers may also offer rebates.
While the amount of money and energy you save depends upon where you live and what type of conventional system you already have or are considering, you are certain to find the energy cost of a geothermal system to be less. And, a geothermal system will always be greener.
Envision™ Series
Overall efficiency, performance & features:
- Meets or exceeds Energy Star® guidelines
- 30 EER / 5 COP (ARI 13256-1 GLHP)
- Comfort Alert™ enabled
- Ultra Quiet operation
Efficient, dependable and low noise WaterFurnace Envision units are second to none. Choose from seven single speed and five dual capacity sizes. Ozone-safe R-410A refrigerant meets the strictest EPA requirements, while coated air coils are designed for a reliable, long life. Manage and monitor your system with Envision’s sophisticated microprocessor controls, which ensure the most efficient performance and feature easy-to-use troubleshooting guides.
Units can be installed horizontally or with vertical top or vertical bottom discharge. Enclosed in heavy-gauge metal cabinets painted with a durable finish, Envision products are the top of the line in efficiency, performance and user-friendly features.
Envision™ Series Split
Overall efficiency, performance & features:
- 26.2 EER / 4.4 COP (ARI 13256-1 GLHP)
“Whisper quiet” Envision Splits are installed indoors, using refrigerant lines and control wiring to connect to an indoor air handler or gas furnace. With no outdoor fan like you’d find on conventional air conditioners, the Envision is as quiet as it is efficient. Operating with R-410A refrigerant, Envision units meet maximum EPA requirements for ozone protection. Envision Splits are easy to install in varied situations and feature easy-access controls and connections. Seated in heavy gauge metal cabinets coated with a wear-resistant polyester powder paint, the Envision Split offers years of exceptional performance and comfort.
Synergy3D
Overall efficiency, performance & features:
- Multi-stage heating and cooling
- 23.7 EER / 4.5 COP (ARI 13256-1 GLHP)
- Hot water generation
- Integrated Radiant Heat
With the Synergy3D Series, you can enjoy the comfort of radiant heat and the economy of forced air. Dramatically cut the cost of heating and cooling in a single unit that also provides hot water for radiant floor heat. The Synergy3D is like a boiler, furnace and air conditioner – but it’s a single geothermal unit housed in heavy-gauge metal cabinets that come in four vertical sizes. A metallic finish adds lifespan and beauty to the units. Copeland dual capacity scroll compressors mean exceptional performance and reliability, while air coils are protected by a durable coating. Ozone-safe R-410A refrigerant is environmentally friendly, while variable speed ECM blower motors provide quiet operation. The advanced microprocessor control coordinates all components for maximum efficiency, and troubleshooting is easy with features such as fault lights and on-board diagnostics. You choose whether to give priority to heating forced air zones or radiant floor heat.
With the Synergy3D Series, radiant floor heat can warm large or small areas. Used with our WaterFurnace GeoTank, the system best utilizes preheated water from your Synergy3D. The GeoTank is designed for use with the WaterFurnace geothermal system and is easy to install and operate.
