Renewable energy sources such as a Bosch geothermal system helps to advance the goals of the community by helping the environment thrive and lowering your carbon footprint. Frequently Asked Questions: Q. What is a geothermal heating and cooling system? A. A geothermal system is an alternative to conventional heating and air conditioning systems. A geothermal system is the best way to optimize energy use, reduce carbon footprint, and realize cost savings on energy bills for many years ahead. Q. What is the benefit of installing geothermal heating and cooling? A. With a geothermal system there is no burning of fossil fuel, no direct greenhouse gas emissions, less maintenance, better humidity control, and because the loop is underground and the heat pump equipment is located inside the house, the system is not susceptible to weather or storm damage. Plus, geothermal systems are exceptionally quiet in operation. Q. How does geothermal work? A. It works automatically just set the thermostat to your desired temperature and it maintains indoor temperature and humidity effectively all year round. Q. Compared to a conventional HVAC system, how much more does a geothermal system cost? A. Typically a geothermal system costs about twice as much as a conventional system due to the one-time cost of installing the geothermal ground loop. However, your geo system will typically save 40-70% of electrical energy consumed for the life of the home. And a new Bosch ENERGY STAR rated geothermal system is currently eligible for 30% tax credit on the system and installation costs.

4 C3 Residential Geothermal Heat Pumps Operation Modes of a Heat Pump Outside, temperatures fluctuate with the changing seasons, but underground temperatures don t change nearly as dramatically, thanks to the mass of the earth. At 4 to 6 feet below the ground, the temperature remains relatively constant year round. A Bosch geothermal system, which typically consists of an indoor heat pump and a buried system of pipes called an earth loop, capitalizes on these constant temperatures to provide free energy. Summer: Cooling Mode In summer, heat from the home is rejected to the cooler earth through buried pipes. The cooled circulating fluid returns to the heat pump completing the cycle. The fluid is typically cooler than th outside temperature, providing a more efficient means of air conditioning. Winter: Heating Mode In winter time, fluid circulating through the earth loop or well absorbs stored heat from the ground and carries it indoors. The Bosch geothermal heat pump compresses the heat to a higher temperature and distributes it throughout the home.

Efficiency: Higher return on investment than with traditional heating/air conditioning systems 2. Reduction in use of Chemical Refrigerants: Geothermal usually has no refrigerant lines to the outside; just closed loop water pipes underground 3. Being Green: Elimination of combustion related heating - earth is the energy source; the sun replenishes warmth seasonally and continually, providing a truly renewable heating source 4. Money Savings: Enables waste heat from the compressor to be reused for domestic hot water or pool heating, further reducing environmental impact 5. Environmentally Friendly: Reduced electrical consumption compared other heating and cooling systems (resulting in fewer emissions from power plants) 6. Long Life: Elimination of outdoor equipment storm-resistant, longer operating life, reduced sound levels To learn more about energy and eco-friendly choices, visit the Bosch Experience Center at Serenbe, or go to boschexperiencecenter.com Bosch Experience Center at Serenbe Showcasing energy efficient, sustainable home solutions such as geothermal heating and cooling systems and related thermotechnology solutions, energy efficient appliances, security and sound systems, power tools, aluminum structural materials and automotive clean diesel technology all from Bosch.
