Geothermal Heating & Cooling Systems

Geothermal – The Long Lasting Commercial Heating and Cooling Solution

Commercial Geothermal heating and air systems use the heat stored underground to warm and cool your entire facility…without fossil fuel while lowering your energy consumption. With geothermal, you get one single system, no fossil fuels, and almost no maintenance. Call B&T today!

How Does a Commercial Geothermal Heating and Cooling System Work?

Geothermal systems do not burn fossil fuels to generate heat. Geothermal systems uses heat from the ground, where the the temperature stays relatively the same all year long. Low-maintenance and highly efficient, these systems can last for generations. There are three main components in a geothermal system: the heat-pump unit, the liquid heat-exchange medium, and the air delivery system (your ducts). Pipes can be buried under the ground both vertically and horizontally, depending on your property.

Commercial Geothermal System or Regular Heat Pump? Which is right for your building?

Traditional heat pumps or air-source heat pumps use indoor and outdoor coils to pull the heat out of the air and move it inside. Reversing the process In the summer, the heat pump literally pulls the heat out of your indoor air.

A commercial geothermal heating and air conditioning system includes a heat pump, but instead of pulling the air from outside it draws air from underground. The geothermal system does not have to expend as much energy to make your business comfortable. However, an air-source heat pump requires no digging and can be cheaper to install. Both are energy-efficient heating and cooling options that have been recommended by the U.S. Department of Energy and often have tax credits available.
