Q: What is some important information owners and property managers need to know when considering ground source heat pump technology?
A: The best time to plan for a geoexchange system is during the design phase of your project. Including the geoexchange engineer at this stage can mitigate design obstacles before they arise. Horizontal loop systems are more economic, but a vertical borehole system is very space efficient and can be utilized in applications where horizontal loops are ruled out due to space limitations. When possible, ocean or lake loops are very affordable and efficient.
Though the upfront costs are higher than conventional systems, geoexchange systems are an excellent investment when viewed over the life of the property and when the changes in the global energy market are considered.
