GEOTHERMAL
- Florida Heat pump is our top of the line
Geothermal system. We install them with a
Horizontal Loop.
There is currently is a tax
credit for Geothermal for 30% of the installed cost with no upper limit
through 2016 for existing homes and new construction.

Founded in 1969
FHP MANUFACTURING is the undisputed leader in
the Water Source Heat Pump industry. In an independent survey of 31
manufacturers, FHP received the highest ratings in overall product quality.
Their 100,000 sq. ft. plant is a state of the art facility located in Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida, the Home of the Water Source Heat Pumps.
FHP Geothermal Systems provide heating,
cooling, dehumidification and can provide virtually free hot water when
supplied with the optional heat recovery system. FHP Geothermal Systems
work by removing heat from your home and rejecting it into the earth or in
the reverse cycle mode adsorbing the heat from the earth and supplying it
back to the space.
HEATING
MODE:
In the heating mode, heat is extracted from
the fluid in the earth loop or well water by the FHP heat pump and
distributed to your home through the air ducts. The air from your home is
heated by the FHP unit with the energy absorbed from the earth and the
compressor heat of the heat pump. The fluid is constantly re-circulated
through the heat pump so it can continue to absorb the needed heat from the
earth.
COOLING
MODE:
The cooling mode works similarly to the
heating mode except the process is reversed. The heat pump absorbs the heat
from your home and rejects it into the fluid that transfers it back into the
earth.
HOW GEOTHERMAL PROVIDES HOT WATER
FHP’s
Heat Recovery System employs a circulating pump that moves water from your
hot water tank through a double wall vented heat exchanger and then returns
the heated water to the tank. As the water passes through the heat
exchanger, it’s heated by superheated discharge refrigerant gas as it flows
through the other side of the heat exchanger. This heat transferred during
cooling mode increases the capacity and efficiency of the heat pump.
However, during the heating mode, this heat being transferred to the water
would normally be used for space heating. During the heating mode the heat
recovery system may be deactivated simply by the flip of a switch.
GEOTHERMAL BENEFITS
SAVINGS
Geothermal heat pumps can cut your heating and cooling costs by 50% to 60%
and provide hot water.
SAFE, CLEAN, AND COMFORTABLE
No pilot lights, no flue vent, no carbon monoxide: with a constant even
temperature and humidity control.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Helps reduce both outdoor noise and air pollution
DURABLE
Geothermal heat pumps last longer because they are housed and protected from
harsh weather conditions. No defrost cycles are needed like air-to-air heat
pumps, which means less stress on critical components and no loss of
operating efficiency.
