GEOTHERMAL HEAT PUMPS

WHAT IS GEOTHERMAL?
Geothermal units use the solar energy stored just below our feet to provide heating, air conditioning and hot water. The earth acts as a giant solar panel absorbing roughly half of the sun's heat energy. A series of pipes called a "loop" (see next page for more) is buried just below the frost line to tap into that stored energy. In the winter, heat is brought

in through the loop, concentrated, and delivered throughout your home. During summer, the excess heat in your home is removed and delivered back to the earth completing the cycle. Because geothermal units use the earth's natural heat, they are among the most efficient and comfortable heating and cooling technologies currently available.

The earth acts as a giant solar panel, absorbing roughly half of the sun's heat energy.

GEOSTAR BENEFITS
Thanks to the unique way geothermal units operate, they provide a host of exciting benefits to you and our environment.
AMAZING ENERGY EFFICIENCY: Geothermal heat pumps don't create energy, they simply move it. Only a small amount of electricity is used to circulate heat to and from your home. This allows GeoStar units to provide $4 of heating for every $1 of electricity used, while current "high-efficiency" fossil fuel furnaces provide only 96¢. Our units are 4 times more efficient than any conventional furnace!

ONE DOLLAR OF ELECTRICITY

FOUR TOTAL UNITS OF HEATING COOLING

THREE UNITS OF "FREE " ENERGY FROM THE EARTH

COST EFFECTIVENESS: Though geothermal systems can be more expensive to purchase up front, the cost difference will be returned through drastically lower energy bills. Most GeoStar owners see savings up to 70% on their utility bills!
GREATER COMFORT: A GeoStar unit runs only at the level needed by using a variable speed motor. It'll slowly ramp up to speed rather than "roaring" to life like a traditional unit-- resulting in even, consistent comfort. You won't experience the large temperature fluctuations associated with other heating and cooling solutions.
QUIET: With our unit, there's no noisy outdoor equipment to disturb the peace or clutter your yard. GeoStar units are so quiet, some homeowners have reported checking the unit to see if it's even running!
LONGER LIFE AND RELIABILITY: Because GeoStar units don't require any outdoor equipment, they are protected from the rain, snow, environmental contaminants and abuse that hinders the efficiency of traditional air conditioners and heat pumps.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: Geothermal units don't burn any fossil fuels or create carbon monoxide. This reduces our dependence on foreign oil while it works to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One GeoStar geothermal unit is the environmental equivalent of taking two cars off the road forever. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says geothermal heat pumps are the most environmentally friendly and cost effective way to condition our homes.

COMPARE THE PERFORMANCE
A GeoStar unit can reduce your annual costs for heating, cooling and hot water by as much as 70% per year. No other gas furnace, air conditioner or heat pump comes close to GeoStar's efficiency. With continuous and dramatic increases in the cost of fossil fuels like natural gas, propane and fuel oil, the savings possibilities are even greater in the future. Your GeoStar dealer can use software modeling tools to estimate the heating and cooling costs for your home based on square footage, construction style, and climate.

GEOTHERMAL LOOP TYPES:
There are four main loop types used in the geothermal industry today. Your GeoStar dealer can provide you with guidance and advice for your specific situation.

VERTICAL LOOP
Used when space is limited. Holes are bored approximately 125 to 250 ft. deep using a drilling rig. A pair of polyethylene pipes with a u-bend fitting is inserted into the holes. A typical home requires three to five bores with roughly a 15-foot separation between the holes.

POND LOOP
If an adequately sized body of water is close to your home, a pond loop can be installed. A series of closed loops are coiled and sunk to the bottom of the pond or lake. A 1/2 acre, 8-foot-deep pond is usually sufficient for the average home.

HORIZONTAL LOOP
Used where adequate land is available. Horizontal loops involve one or more trenches dug using a backhoe or chain trencher. Polyethylene pipes are inserted, and the trenches are backfilled. A typical home requires 1/4 to 3/4 of an acre for the trenches.

OPEN LOOP
An open loop is used where there is an abundant supply of quality well water. The well must have enough capacity to provide adequate flow for both domestic use and the GeoStar unit. GeoStar units require 3 - 10 GPM, depending on size.

Homeowners who install an ENERGY STAR® rated geothermal system in the U.S. are eligible for a 26% federal tax credit. The 26% credit will last through 2022 and can be claimed on equipment and installation costs with no upper limit. The credit is scheduled to decrease to 22% in 2023, so act now for the most savings!

ASTON SERIES SAH AIR HANDLER
The state-of-the-art Aston Series SAH Air Handler offers comfort, versatility, and efficiency in 3 new cabinet sizes (2 to 6-ton capacities). When paired with our Aston Series split system, an Aston Series SAH Air Handler provides the perfect solution for replacing an air conditioner or heat pump in homes with limited utility space. The air handler utilizes R-410A refrigerant and can be field adjusted to four configurations for a wide range of applications. An optional cased/uncased coil is available for dual fuel applications while an electric back-up heat option is available for added peace of mind. The Aston Series SAH Air Handler can save you up to 70% while providing the comfort and reliability you've come to expect from GeoStar.

ASTON SERIES FEATURES

AURORA CONTROLS: Our Aurora Expansion Board (AXB) in the compressor section coupled with the AHB board in the Aston Series SAH Air Handler adds energy and performance monitoring making it easy to keep an eye on system operation. With these controls, the Aston Series SAH Air Handler works seamlessly with our Symphony platform, IntelliZone2 and all of our communicating thermostats.
ALUMINUM A-COIL: Aston Series SAH Air Handlers feature all-aluminum A-Coils which aren't susceptible to formicary corrosion and provide extra durability and extended system life.
VARIABLE SPEED FAN MOTOR: The variable speed ECM motor in the Aston Series SAH Air Handler, when equipped with Aurora Advanced Controls, runs at only the speed needed for maximum efficiency, which means lower electric bills and greater comfort.
AURORA INTERFACE DIAGNOSTIC (AID) TOOL: The Aston Series SAH Air Handler features an external diagnostic port to allow your HVAC technician to comfortably service and diagnose the system.

FACTORY QUALITY: Quality checks are performed throughout the assembly process, and computer run-testing is done on every unit to ensure flawless startup and long-term reliability.
CABINET: A durable powder-coat finish is standard for long lasting beauty and protection. The unit is fully insulated with a cleanable, foil-backed insulation and helps provide quiet operation.
