GeoEngineers and GeoTility have recently partnered to increase ground source heat pump (GSHP) efficiency and reduce fossil fuel demand within the built environment. Ground source heat pumps, also known as geothermal heat pumps or geoexchange, use the moderate temperature of the earth to heat or cool a building, significantly reducing annual energy and maintenance costs, water consumption, and carbon footprint.
One of the main outcomes the companies expect to achieve is reduced upfront cost for GSHP installations. Despite green benefits, quick return on investment, and reduced annual costs for indoor climate control, installation costs for GSHPs are higher than conventional systems. However, GeoEngineers and GeoTility believe they can find ways to reduce these installation costs by re-evaluating current practices, refining pipe placement and developing hybrid conventional /GSHP systems.
The two companies are natural partners for this initiative. GeoEngineers brings expertise in measuring soil temperatures and groundwater flow, while GeoTility offers 19 years of experience in design and installation of ground source heating and cooling systems. Together, the companies will deliver innovative and tested GSHP solutions to Seattle and the greater Pacific Northwest marketplace.
