“DON’T WORRY, WE’VE GOT YOUR COMFORT COVERED”

Geothermal heat pumps are considered the most efficient way to heat and cool your home and studies show that approximately 70% of the energy used by the system is renewable energy from the ground. If you live in the Cornelius, Davidson, Mooresville, Huntersville, Denver or Charlotte area you are subjected to winter temperatures that can be in the low teens and summer temperatures that can approach 100 degrees . A heat pump operates by moving heat from the outdoors into your home during the winter and moving heat from the inside of your home to the outdoors in the summer. As you can imagine, a conventional heat pump is not very efficient when it is trying to extract heat from the outside air and the temperature is below freezing. During these most extreme temperatures, a conventional heat pump will struggle to keep your home comfortable and cost more to operate. A geothermal heat pump also captures heat and moves it in or out of your home but is not subjected to these extreme temperature conditions. It cools and heats your home more efficiently by using the earth at a relatively constant temperature of 58 degrees instead of the surrounding air.

Geothermal heat pumps can be quite a bit more expensive to install, sometimes 3 or 4 times the cost of conventional heat pumps, and have deterred many homeowners in the past. The available tax credits from the federal government and the state of North Carolina have brought the initial cost down in the conventional system range. Many homeowners in the Lake Norman area including Mooresville, Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville and Denver currently have geothermal heat pumps that pump water
from a well and discharge into the lake. Replacing these systems can be very cost effective since they too qualify for the tax credits. The new two-stage Tranquility series heat pumps by ClimateMaster have EER efficiencies in the mid 20’s and are quite a bit more efficient than geothermal units 5 years old or older. As an added benefit, the Tranquility series heat pump comes equipped with a hot water generator that can be connected to an existing water heater and provide virtually free hot water in the summer and in the winter can supplement the water heater to reduce the cost.
