Geothermal heat pumps (sometimes referred to as Geo-Exchange, earth-coupled, ground- source, or water-source heat pumps) have been in use since the late 1940s. Geothermal heat pumps (GHPs) use the constant temperature of the earth as the exchange medium instead of the outside air temperature. This allows the system to reach fairly high efficiencies (300%-600%) on the coldest of winter nights, compared to 175%-250% for air-source heat pumps on cool days.
Geothermal systems are the worlds most advanced and most cost-efficient heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. EPA has confirmed geothermal systems operate at 75% greaterefficiency than oil furnaces, 48% greater efficiency than gas furnaces and 40% greater efficiency than air source heat pumps.
Waterwell treatment refers to treatments that reduce harmful contaminants in the water and therefore deals with health and safety of the waterwell. High levels of coliform, nitrates, arsenic, lead and pesticides are examples ofharmful contaminants that must be treated for water to be safe to drink. Generally, private waterwell supplies should be tested for nitrate and bacterial contamination annually.
Drill replacement waterwells in tight locations with minimal ground damage.
