Geothermal Systems Provide "Free" Hot Water

What is a Desuperheater?

There are a lot of innovative products on the market that seek to provide hot water more efficiently. New technologies such as on-demand generation, heat pump water heaters are just a few options available. The question is, do these options make sense here in Pine County ?

Before you buy a technology that has a single function, consider a geothermal system. A Pine County geothermal heat pump  provides heating, cooling, and free hot water - all from a single unit.

A desuperheater is a component that captures the normally wasted heat created by a unit's compressor and uses it to modify the water. Although surplus heat is generated in both heating and cooling modes, the hot water advantage is greatest while the unit is cooling. In the summer, geothermal units run more often and can provide most, if not all, of your hot water. During the colder fall, winter, and spring months - when the desuperheater isn't capturing as much surplus heat - you'll have to use your existing water heating system.
