Split System Heat Pump in Hampton – Geothermal Cooling.

Geothermal cooling is a process by which shallow ground is utilized within a system to regulate temperature. The upper 10 feet of the earth's surface holds a stable temperature between 50° to 61°F (10° to 16°C). This stable temperature is harnessed, using a geothermal device, to draw heat energy out of a system and thus transfer the cool temperatures into a warmer area.

Split System Heating and Cooling in Hampton – Under the Ground.

Surface temperature has almost no effect on the ground underneath the frost line. Using this knowledge, a pump can be placed under the ground, in an area such as a basement, that effectively pulls the cool sustaining temperature from the ground. This device is connected to a loop of copper tubing or high-density polyethylene, which is literally buried underneath the earth's surface. 

Split System HVAC in Hampton – Direct Exchange.

This loop contains a refrigerant that is pumped through the tubing, exchanging the warm energy in the building with cooler energy in the ground and acting almost like a heat sink. This process is known as direct exchange and is very effective at keeping a location at a stable cool temperature.

Split System Air Conditioner in Hampton – Cooling Process.

Geothermal cooling uses two different methods to implement the cooling process: water-to-air systems or water-to-water systems. Water-to-air systems replace central air conditioning systems by using a liquid coolant to transfer the energy into the air that can then be blown throughout a structure. Water-to-water systems use a large system of liquid spread throughout the building that is cooled, keeping the area at a stable temperature. The water-to-water system has the bonus of working very effectively at heating as well.
