Open Loop System operates under the same principles as closed loop system except for it operates on more of a pump and dump system by this we mean their are 2 pipes in the well one would be the pipe that brings water into the building and the other being a discharge line. Open Loop systems typically have more footage within the well, which means less well locations. This design method is great for lots with space restrictions were multiple shallow wells cannot be acheived. In some cases exisitng old wells meet the criteria to be converted for GSHP use in conjunction with drinking water and/or Irrigation use.
Can be a combo heating/cooling and hot water systems
You can save up to 50% on hot water heating by preheating the tank water
Made of Mechanical components either buried outside and inside the home
Relatively the same size as Traditional systems
Piping Carries up to a 50 Year Warrant
Can cut energy consumption 20 to 50% & reduce Maintenance & reduces maintenance cost
Keeps air warmer in the winter (90-105 °F) and at a more constant temp eliminating hot & cold Spots
Very Quite
No Noisy fans in the summer or winter
No open flames
No Flammable Fuels
No dangerous fuel storage tanks
Heating efficiency's 50 to 70% higher than traditional systems
cooling efficiencies 20 to 40% higher than traditional systems
Save money in operating & maintenance costs energy savings usually exceeds the cost of the system within a few years
Federal & Local rebates & Incentives for utilizing GSHP Systems
No air Pollution
Minimize ozone destruction by using factory sealed refridgeration units
Conserve natural resources by climate control and lowering emmission
