4 Ways To Efficiently Cool Your Home With Geothermal Thermal Exchange And Cut Energy Costs
Geothermal HVAC systems offer many different solutions to cool your home and save energy. These systems can be used for conventional forced air and radiant cooling systems. The following geothermal cooling designs will help you cut your energy costs with modern geothermal heat exchange solutions:
1. Geothermal Loops in Water with or Without the Aid of Refrigeration for Cooling
If you have a body of water available, a heat exchange loop can be sunk to the bottom to provide heat during the winter months and cooling for the summer heat. Another solution is to use a tank or small reservoir with refrigeration elements to cool or freeze water at night when the price of electricity is lower, and then use this energy to cool your home during the warm hours of the day. This design can be used for conventional forced-air HVAC or for radiant cooling designs.
2. Geothermal Heat Pump Systems with Buried Loops to Provide Energy to HVAC Systems
Geothermal heat pumps are usually buried loops that work as a thermal exchange system. This means that the ground cools fluids that are used to extract heat from your home for cooling and provide heat for heating during the winter. These systems can be combined with a conventional HVAC design to provide your home with more efficient cooling to reduce summer energy costs.
3. Cooling Your Home with Radiant Cooling Solutions Mounted in Ceilings Above In-Floor Systems
Radiant cooling systems are a great solution to efficiently cool your home. If you are installing an in-floor heating system, then the cooling system will need to be in the ceiling. The tubes that are mounted on the ceiling, and covered with plaster or panels, will absorb the heat during the summer months to keep your home cool and comfortable when there are unbearable heatwaves outdoors.
4. Taking Advantage of Existing Radiators and Using Them for Heat Exchange Cooling Solutions
If you have existing radiators that you use for winter heating, you can also take advantage of them to keep your home cool during the summer months. This can be done by using cold water from your geothermal loop to circulate through the radiators. When it is hot, the radiators will absorb the heat to keep your home cool.
These are some of the different ways you can reduce your energy costs with modern geothermal heat exchange for cooling during the hot summer months. Contact an installation service such as Arctic Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, Inc. and talk to them about some of these solutions.
