Geothermal Systems Provide "Free" Hot Water

What is a Desuperheater?

There are a series of innovative products on the market that look to supply hot water more efficiently. This includes newer technologies like on-demand generation, heat pump water heaters, and solar solutions. For residents in Salem area, don't these options make sense?

Before investing in a technology that has a single function, consider a geothermal solution. A Salem geothermal heat pump not only offers heating and cooling from a single unit, it also gives you free hot water.

A desuperheater is a component that captures the normally wasted heat generated by a unit's compressor and uses it to condition the water. This additional heat is created in both heating and cooling modes, but the hot water benefit is greatest as the unit is cooling. In the summer, geothermal units run more often and can provide most, if not all, of your hot water. However, during the fall, winter, and spring months - when the desuperheater isn't capturing as much excess heat - you'll need to rely more on your existing water heating process.

If you'd like to have geothermal provide 100% of your hot water needs, we also offer dedicated hydronic equipment that's easily installed. Like solar solutions, they qualify for the 30% federal tax credit. But unlike solar solutions, geothermal provides hot water 24 hours a day, rain or shine.

"Free hot water just another reason to switch to geothermal products. Set up an appointment today with one of our specialists to evaluate your needs, and decide if a geothermal solution makes sense for you.
