GEOTHERMAL POWER

Veterans Energy Solutions, LLC (VES) is an energy solutions provider, not a product vendor. So we have no obligation to manufacturers. We will find the best and the most cost-effective technologies, rather than adapting equipment to your project. And, if you have a preferred vendor, we can use their technologies with no conflict of interest. We customize geothermal system designs based on your needs. VES is also State of Florida Certified (Unlimited Electrical Contractor: EC13003828) to install geothermal systems.
Geothermal ("earth heat") energy produces electricity from hydrothermal (hot water/steam) resources. It is clean and sustainable. Resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the Earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma.
The geothermal heat pump, also known as the ground source heat pump, is a highly efficient renewable energy technology. Using resource temperatures of 4°C (40°F) to 38°C (100°F), the heat pump, a device which moves heat from one place to another, transfers heat from the soil to the house in the winter and from the house to the soil in the summer.

Geothermal heat pumps are used for space heating and cooling, as well as water heating. Its great advantage is that it works by concentrating naturally existing heat, rather than by producing heat through combustion of fossil fuels.

The system includes three principal components:

• Geothermal earth connection subsystem
• Geothermal heat pump subsystem
• Geothermal heat distribution subsystem

Earth Connection
Using the Earth as a heat source/sink, a series of pipes, commonly called a "loop," is buried in the ground near the building to be conditioned. The loop can be buried either vertically or horizontally. It circulates a fluid (water, or a mixture of water and antifreeze) that absorbs heat from, or relinquishes heat to, the surrounding soil, depending on whether the ambient air is colder or warmer than the soil.

Heat Pump
For heating, a geothermal heat pump removes the heat from the fluid in the Earth connection, concentrates it, and then transfers it to the building. For cooling, the process is reversed.

Heat Distribution
Conventional ductwork is generally used to distribute heated or cooled air from the geothermal heat pump throughout the building.

Residential Hot Water
In addition to space conditioning, geothermal heat pumps can be used to provide domestic hot water when the system is operating. Many residential systems are now equipped with desuperheaters that transfer excess heat from the geothermal heat pump's compressor to the house's hot water tank. A desuperheater provides no hot water during the spring and fall when the geothermal heat pump system is not operating; however, because the geothermal heat pump is so much more efficient than other means of water heating, manufacturers are beginning to offer "full demand" systems that use a separate heat exchanger to meet all of a household's hot water needs. These units cost-effectively provide hot water as quickly as any competing system.
