Precision Comfort Systems has been installing heating and cooling systems for decades, and when it comes to geothermal, one brand we consistently stand behind is WaterFurnace. Widely recognized as a top manufacturer of innovative geothermal heat pump systems, WaterFurnace is at the forefront of energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions. We’ve seen firsthand how WaterFurnace geothermal systems outperform traditional HVAC solutions and deliver unmatched efficiency, reliability, and sustainability for our customers who opt for geothermal. If you are considering a new HVAC system, check out the top benefits of WaterFurnace geothermal systems.
1. Respected and Local
The WaterFurnace mission, “To transform the way we use energy, protect resources for future generations, and give people the freedom to focus on life,” demonstrates the company’s commitment to improving people’s lives now and for years to come. By selecting WaterFurnace geothermal heat pumps, customers not only gain significant energy savings and superior comfort, but they are also contributing to a cleaner environment. Because WaterFurnace geothermal products are manufactured in Indiana, shipping them to Precision Comfort Systems’ customers results in lower transportation emissions than other manufacturers.
2. Unmatched Energy Efficiency
When it comes to energy efficiency, WaterFurnace geothermal systems are among the best in the industry. Traditional HVAC systems operate with an efficiency range of 70% to 100%, meaning that for every unit of electricity they consume, they deliver less than or equal to one unit of heating or cooling energy. In contrast, WaterFurnace geothermal systems offer efficiency rates of up to 400%, providing four units of heating or cooling for every unit of electricity used.
3. Long-Term Cost Savings
Although installing a geothermal system may have a higher upfront cost compared to traditional HVAC systems, the return on investment (ROI) more than makes up for it over time. Geothermal systems typically last over 25 years for indoor components, while the underground loop can last for more than 50 years. This longevity, combined with reduced energy bills and lower maintenance costs, results in significant savings in the long term.
Additionally, homeowners can take advantage of incentives like rebates and tax credits from utility companies, the federal government, and state agencies. These incentives help offset the initial investment, making geothermal systems more accessible to those looking to switch to a greener, more cost-efficient solution.
4. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
WaterFurnace geothermal systems use the Earth’s renewable geothermal energy, drastically reducing your reliance on fossil fuels and lowering your carbon footprint. Unlike traditional HVAC systems that burn natural gas, oil, or propane, WaterFurnace geothermal systems transfer heat from the Earth, a process that generates no direct emissions. This makes them one of the most environmentally friendly heating and cooling solutions available.
5. Minimal Maintenance and Maximum Reliability
WaterFurnace geothermal systems are known for their reliability and low maintenance needs. With fewer moving parts than conventional HVAC systems, there are fewer opportunities for wear and tear, which translates into fewer breakdowns and lower repair costs. In addition, the underground loop requires no maintenance once installed, as it is protected from the elements and built to last for decades. Components only need periodic inspections, typically once a year, to ensure optimal performance. This results in less time spent on upkeep and more time enjoying a consistently comfortable home environment.
6. Wide Range of Innovative Product Offerings
WaterFurnace’s range of geothermal systems caters to a variety of homeowner needs. Whether you’re looking for a system for a new construction project or a retrofit, WaterFurnace has a solution that will work for you. Some of the notable products include:
Forced Air & All-In-One Systems: Forced Air & All-In-One Systems are designed for year-round heating and cooling by leveraging the Earth’s stable underground temperatures. WaterFurnace’s 7 Series 700A11 is the most advanced model, offering variable capacity for precise climate control. The 5 Series 500A11 is a versatile and reliable option that fits most homes, while the 3 Series 300A11 provides a more budget-friendly alternative without sacrificing energy efficiency. Each model efficiently handles both heating and cooling, ensuring comfort and lower energy costs throughout the year.
Indoor/Outdoor Split Systems: WaterFurnace’s Indoor/Outdoor Split Systems provide flexibility for a variety of installation scenarios, whether paired with a remote air handler for whole-house heating and cooling or installed alongside a fossil fuel furnace for dual-fuel applications—ideal for colder climates requiring maximum efficiency. The 7 Series 700R11 Indoor Split offers variable capacity for precise energy control, while the 5 Series 500R11 Indoor Split delivers reliable performance at a cost-effective price. Additionally, the 5 Series 500RO11 Outdoor Split is designed for outdoor installation, offering flexibility for larger homes or unique layouts. These systems are perfect for homeowners looking to transition to geothermal without completely overhauling their existing setup.
Forced Air / Hydronic Combo: WaterFurnace also offers the Synergy3D, which provides heating, cooling, and hot water in a single system, making it a comprehensive solution for homeowners looking to maximize energy efficiency while minimizing their carbon footprint.
Crossover Heat Pump: The 5 Series Geo-Ready® Split is one of WaterFurnace’s more innovative products, offering an air-source solution that can later be converted to geothermal. This flexibility allows homeowners to start with a high-efficiency air source system and schedule the installation of the ground loop at a more convenient time, making it easier to transition to geothermal energy without upfront costs or delays.
