Geothermal HVAC: high-performance, energy-saving
For new Rhode Island homes, energy-efficient heat pump-driven geothermal systems can save from 25% to 50% on heating and cooling costs over conventional heating and air conditioning equipment.
Also called geo-exchange and ground-source heat pump systems, geothermal technology uses no fossil fuel. By creating free, renewable heat from the earth, geothermal systems are the most energy-efficient HVAC system available today.
National Refrigeration is the pioneer of geothermal HVAC in Rhode Island. We have a team with the experience, training, and design-build support staff to cost-effectively install and repair geothermal systems.
This technology is best suited for new home construction. First, talk with your general contractor about whether your project will benefit from geothermal. Then, we can interface with your GC to budget, design and develop a system that will provide the lowest carbon footprint and energy costs.
