Groundswell Geothermal supplies and installs various models of geothermal heat pumps from NextEnergy. The Genesis series water-to-water heat pump offered by the company is a geothermal heating and cooling system designed for radiant floor heating, water-based heating and cooling, and fan coil applications. This geothermal system delivers uniform space conditioning and increased dehumidification to provide comfort all through the year.
The Genesis series water-to-water heat pump has no noisy outdoor fan compared to the traditional air conditioners or heat pumps. It provides safe and clean heating and emits no flames, odors, flues or hazardous fumes. This water-to-water heat pump offers low operating costs and saves energy up to 60 percent per year. Since this heat pump contains few moving parts, it requires less maintenance. There is an optional hot water generator to generate hot water when the geothermal system operates in either cooling or heating mode.
The Genesis series water-to-water heat pump incorporates a NextEnergy thermostat to monitor and alert when the system is not operating efficiently. It can be put together with a Genesis forced air unit to deliver warm and cool air distribution system. This heat pump offered by Groundswell Geothermal can be installed in the following ways: horizontal loop, vertical loop, pond loop and open loop. It can also be used for outdoor walkways and for heating driveways.
