Water Furnace

Homeowners around the world have learned that a WaterFurnace geothermal system is the smarter way to reduce your carbon footprint and utility bills at the same time. WaterFurnace geothermal systems use the free, renewable energy found in your own back yard to save up to 70% on heating, cooling, and hot water costs. 


WaterFurnace Envision products feature advanced technology and innovative components to achieve the highest levels of performance and peace of mind. Environmentally safe R-410A refrigerant is used in all units. Envision products also include Copeland Scroll compressors in either single speed or dual capacity models. Scroll compressors are widely regarded throughout the industry as the most durable and efficient compressor technology. Dual capacity Scroll compressors used in some sizes allow the Envision series units to operate in low on mild days for exceptional efficiency, then automatically shift into full capacity on days with extreme temperatures. This dual capacity operation provides you with the finest in comfort and energy savings. And with sophisticated yet robust microprocessor controls, compressor monitoring and today's best digital thermostats, the Envision series sets the new industry benchmark.

Environmental standards for refrigerants are becoming more stringent. WaterFurnace was the first to develop a geothermal heating and cooling system using the environmentally safe and performance enhancing R-410A. Unlike other currently used refrigerants, R-410A will not harm the earth’s ozone layer. With the Envision, you’ll have the ultimate in comfort, efficiency and performance, while doing your part to protect the environment. You’ll enjoy consistent, even temperatures and superior humidity control. The addition of an IntelliZone™ comfort system allows you to precisely regulate temperatures in different areas of your home to suit individual needs.

Because WaterFurnace geothermal systems don’t burn fossil fuels, they don’t emit harmful greenhouse gases, which are associated with global warming. No flames. No fumes. No odors. No danger from carbon monoxide in your home. And you’ll benefit from improved indoor air quality and less dust.

 Bonus Code Word: ENVISION

The Envision Design:
The Envision unit will provide forced air heating and cooling to ducted zones. WaterFurnace systems are the result of state of the art research and development. Dozens of quality checks are performed throughout the assembly process.

1. Blower Motor: A variable speed ECM blower motor with up to 12 airflow selections allows the unit to provide enhanced comfort, quiet operation and energy savings.

2. Cabinet: The cabinet is made of heavy gauge sheet metal finished with durable powder-coat paint for long lasting beauty and protection. Fully insulated for quiet operation.

3. Coated Air Coil: The coated air coil resists corrosion and increases equipment life. its large size improves efficiency and dehumidification during cooling.

4. Drain Pain: Electronic overflow protection is included to eliminate the possibility of condensate flooding. Constructed of plastic the drain pan is also corrosion proof.

5. Compressor: Quiet efficient and very reliable compressors increase comfort and energy savings.

6. LED Status Lights: Externally mounted status lights indicate normal operation or display faults and assist the technician in troubleshooting.

7. Controls: A unique microprocessor allows priority selection for either radiant or forced air heat zones. The control sequences all components to provide ultimate performance. Onboard diagnostics allow for easy service.

8. Radiant Heating Capacity: Hot water is efficiently generated for in-floor radiant heat systems at a fraction of the cost of ordinary boilers.


Loop Configuration

Geothermal Energy Specialists are trained to determine the best type of earth loop to use in any situation. The type of loop used is based on available land space and installation costs for specific areas.

HORIZONTAL LOOPS

Used where adequate land space is available, horizontal loops involve one or more trenches that are dug using a backhoe or excavator. High Density Green Geothermal Pipe is inserted, and the trenches are backfilled. Each trench ranges in length up to 300

 

VERTICAL LOOPS

Vertical loops are used when space is limited. Holes are bored using a drilling rig, and a pair of High Density Green Geothermal Pipes with special u-bend fittings is inserted into the holes. A typical home requires three to five bores with about 10' between each hole. Bore holes can range from 75' to 300'.

 

POND LOOPS

Gaining popularity in "Cottage Country", Pond or Lake Loops are a great choice if an adequately sized body of water is close to your home. This is an affordable alternative as excavation costs can be virtually eliminated. A series of High Density Green Geothermal closed loops can be extended and sunk to the bottom of the water body. A 1⁄2-acre, 8-foot-deep pond is usually sufficient for the average home.

 

OPEN LOOPS

An open loop is used where there is an abundant supply of quality well water. The well must have enough capacity to provide adequate flow for both domestic use and the Water Furnace unit. Discharge water should be sent directly to a second recharge well.
