Geothermal Heat Pump in Norfolk, VA

At Simmons Heating & Cooling, we can expertly install a Geothermal Heat Pump in Norfolk, VA, for our customers. The pump resides in the ground rather than on the outside of your house. It’s called geothermal heating because the pump draws heat from the ground instead of the outdoor air. The consistent earth temperature warms the refrigerant liquid circulating in long pipes beneath your yard. The system provides adjustable heating for your home and water by connecting to a small unit inside of your home.

When technicians install a heat pump vertically, the system of looped pipes can run 300 feet into the ground. When they place it horizontally, the depth reaches around six to ten feet, with a wider width. The large underground area gives enough room for natural conduction without the use of fossil fuels. Alternatively, technicians construct these systems in ponds or in deep water reservoirs, where it derives heat from water instead.

Although a geothermal heat pump can last for decades, it’s important to schedule yearly maintenance with us at Simmons Heating & Cooling. To ensure longevity, technicians assess the antifreeze solution for quality. A downgrade in quality could mean your underground pipes are leaking. The inside unit is out in the open and therefore can have more wear and tear. By taking a look at your inside unit and your ducts, we can maintain the condition of your unit.
