HydroHeat are makers of the HydroHeat series of Ground-Source and Water-Source Heat Pumps. HydroHeat offers a full range of efficient Geothermal Heat Pumps for all applications. They also offer unique technology to increase the savings of your application and bring you a quicker return on your investment.
How Geothermal Works
Geothermal heat pumps are the most efficient way to heat and cool your home. These appliances actually pump heat into your home during the heating season, and out of your home during the cooling season, using technology similar to your average refrigerator.
By utilizing underground piping buried under the earth, Heat Pumps have an infinite source of energy. This energy is pumped into your home in the heating season, and pumped back into the earth in the cooling season where it is stored. The earth has a near constant temperature at depths below 20 feet, so unlike air source heat pumps, the system will have consistent temperatures and capacities.
Residential Applications Geothermal heat pumps are becoming a more popular choice for residential heating and cooling applications. By utilizing the efficiency of geothermal technology, residential applications can save tremendously on utility bills by converting or designing with ground-source or geothermal heat pumps. The technology means no unsightly noisy outdoor unit, greater cost savings than any other source of heating and more reliable and comfortable operation cost.
Commercial Applications
Geothermal heat pumps are becoming a more popular choice for commercial, industrial and institutional applications. By utilizing the efficiency of geothermal technology, larger commercial applications can save tremendously by converting or designing with ground-source or geothermal heat pumps. The technology results in fewer (and most of the time) unsightly pieces of outside equipment, greater savings and more reliable and comfortable operation.
Geothermal heat pumps take advantage of the constant temperature in the earth to provide inexpensive heating and cooling. These heat pumps can typically operate on water temperatures ranging from 35 oF to 95 oF, while maintaining significantly higher efficiencies than conventional equipment. Due to the temperature range versatility, these appliances can be used in three typical commercial arrangements: (1) Closed Ground Loop, (2) Closed Building Loop and (3) Closed Hybrid Loop. Explanations and examples of the three arrangements can be found below.
Geothermal Water Heating
According to the Energy Information Administration (www.eia.doe.gov), 12% of the average mid-west households total utility expenditures (heating, air conditioning, water heating, lights and appliances, etc.) can be attributed to water heating alone. The HydroHeat product line offers unique "On Demand" technology that allows you to generate hot water and space heat and cool your house out of one appliance. Alternate brands may claim that they can do the same, but our patented technology can heat hot water even when the heat pump is not running to heat or cool your home, while others can't. This technology will qualify you for the 2005 Energy Bill Tax Credit (see above) and save you more than any Desuperheater option, guaranteed.
Geothermal Comfort
Geothermal heat pumps can offer increased comfort to your home. These appliances do not require any additional fuel source to heat your home / hot water. This means no: Carbon Monoxide potential, no allergies from combustibles and no outside air required for combustion. Geothermal heat pumps also circulate the air in the home more evenly, so temperature variance is less than conventional equipment. Compared to air-source heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps do not lose their ability to heat as the outdoor temperature drops. This results in greater comfort and piece of mind.

High-efficiency heat pumps can lower the cost of keeping your home completely comfortable all year. The Goodman brand offers a full line of heat pump systems so you are certain to find the perfect system to fit your budget. Plus you’ll get comfort from what we believe to be the best warranty protection in the heating and cooling industry. For the greatest energy-efficiency savings, select a heat pump system with the highest SEER and HSPF ratings.
What is a heat pump?A heat pump is a device used for either the heating or cooling of a space by transferring hot and cold between two reservoirs.
A heat pump can act like an air conditioner, transferring heat from inside to out, or like a heater as it transfers exterior heat to the interior. A winter day with a temperature of 32º Fahrenheit still produces enough heat to warm a space when the air is transferred by heat pump.
Facts:
• Using electricity as its energy source, heat pumps are used for either the heating or cooling of your home by transferring heat between two reservoirs.
• In the warmer months, the heat pump acts like an air conditioner, removing heat from the air inside your home and transferring it outside.
• During colder months, heat from outdoor air is extracted and transferred to the interior of your home. Believe it or not, even a 32º Fahrenheit day produces enough heat to warm a home via a heat pump.

Benefits:
Year-round, energy - efficient indoor comfort for moderate climates - A central heat pump helps maintain comfortable temperatures inside your home and reduces humidity levels year-round. Homes located in regions with severely cold temperatures may either require supplemental heating or be better served with an air conditioner/furnace combination.
Cleaner air - As your heat pump system draws air out of various rooms in the house through return air ducts, the air is pulled through an air filter, which removes airborne particles such as dust and lint. Sophisticated filters may remove microscopic pollutants, as well. The filtered air is then routed to air supply duct work that carries it back to rooms. Whenever the air conditioner is running, this cycle repeats continually, constantly filtering and cleaning the air in your home.
Quieter operation - Because the compressor bearing unit of the typical central heat pump system is located outside the home, the indoor noise level from its operation is much lower than that of a free-standing air conditioning unit.

About Heat Pump Systems
For climates with moderate heating and cooling needs, heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners. Like your refrigerator, heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space into a warm, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house; during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide up to 4 times the amount of energy they consume.
The most common type of heat pump is the air-source heat pump, which transfers heat between your house and the outside air. If you heat with electricity, a heat pump can trim the amount of electricity you use for heating by as much as 30%–40%. High-efficiency heat pumps also dehumidify better than standard central air conditioners, resulting in less energy usage and more cooling comfort in summer months. However, the efficiency of most air-source heat pumps as a heat source drops dramatically at low temperatures, generally making them unsuitable for cold climates, although there are systems that can overcome that problem.
For homes without ducts, air-source heat pumps are also available in a ductless version called a mini-split heat pump. In addition, a special type of air-source heat pump called a "reverse cycle chiller" generates hot and cold water rather than air, allowing it to be used with radiant floor heating systems in heating mode.
Higher efficiencies are achieved with geothermal (ground-source or water-source) heat pumps, which transfer heat between your house and the ground or a nearby water source. Although they cost more to install, geothermal heat pumps have low operating costs because they take advantage of relatively constant ground or water temperatures. However, the installation depends on the size of your lot, the subsoil and landscape. Ground-source or water-source heat pumps can be used in more extreme climatic conditions than air-source heat pumps, and customer satisfaction with the systems is very high.
A new type of heat pump for residential systems is the absorption heat pump, also called a gas-fired heat pump. Absorption heat pumps use heat as their energy source, and can be driven with a wide variety of heat sources.
