Geothermal Systems Provide "Free" Hot Water

What is a Desuperheater?

There are a lot of innovative products on the market that look to provide hot water more efficiently. New technologies such as on-demand generation, heat pump water heaters are just a few options available. The question is, do these options make sense here in Columbus ?

Before you buy a technology that only has one function, consider a geothermal heat pump add-on. A Columbus geothermal heat pump  offers heating, cooling, and free hot water - all from a single unit.

A desuperheater is a component that captures the wasted heat normally produced by a unit's compressor and applies it to modify the water. Although excess heat is generated in both heating and cooling modes, the hot water advantage is greatest as the unit is cooling. In the summer, geothermal units run more often and can supply most, if not all, of your hot water. However, during the colder fall, winter, and spring months - when the desuperheater isn't capturing as much surplus heat - you'll need to use your existing water heating system.

If you'd like to have geothermal supply 100% of your hot water needs. Like solar solutions, they qualify for the 30% federal tax credit. But unlike solar solutions, geothermal provides hot water 24 hours a day, rain or shine.

Hot water - it's one more reason to choose geothermal. Set up an appointment with one of our specialists to evaluate your needs, and whether or not a geothermal solution makes sense for you.
