In the heart of downtown Charleston is an old home which was damaged during Hurricane Hugo and restored to show case hurricane resistant construction and energy efficient products. A six ton Geothermal closed loop system was installed to heat and cool the building. The beautiful grounds and quiet atmosphere of the Monastery outside of Moncks Corner, SC needed to be preserved and the buildings needed a heating and cooling system as well. The new biblical research library and the new dormitory have been constructed with geothermal systems. How it Works Using traditional heat pump technology to exchange air from inside a home or building to the outside environment, Earth Connect can help make homes more comfortable, lower electric bills and reduce peak demands on electric power.
Installation is easy.
The technology behind EarthConnect is fairly simple. A loop of durable plastic tubing, connected to the heat pump unit, is filled with water and buried underground. The heat pump circulates the water through the loop, and the water transfers the heat between the house and the ground outside, cooling the house in summer and warming it in winter. That makes it more efficient, and that can reduce energy use and utility bills. The system can also tie into your water heater to provide free water heating during the cooling system.
