GEOTHERMAL & AEROTHERMAL HEAT PUMPS
Ontrak Services has been designing, installing, Manufacturing Geothermal and Air sourced heat pump heating systems for over 15 years. We know what works! A true Geothermal heat pump system is expensive to install and needs to be designed,installed and maintained by an experienced technician. We don’t use a one size fits all approach. Feel free to contact us to discuss what will best suit your installation.
Heat pumps are one of the most efficient ways to heat and cool a space.
Heat pumps work by taking heat from either the ambient air outside (aerothermal) or the ground (geothermal) and transfering it to an inside space via a heat pump.
All heat pumps have 3 key components – the condenser, evaporator and the compressor. Refrigerant transfers heat from one area to another via these key components. When refrigerant gas is compressed and passes through the condenser it becomes a medium temperature, medium pressure gas. The liquid refrigerant expands within the evaporator, absorbing heat and creating a low temperature, low pressure gas. By placing a reversing valve within the system, heating and cooling can be directed where and when its required.The condensor is the only defining point between aerothermal and geothermal. An aerothermal unit will have an outdoor unit, with a fan and finned coil. A geothermal unit uses a labrinth of pipes buried in the ground or a body of water.
In the winter months the heat pump extracts heat from the outside air (aerothermal) or the ground (geothermal) and transfers it via ducted fan coils, wall splits, cassettes, underfloor heating or your swimming pool.
Ontrak Services will recommend the heat pump that suits your needs and climate. We are able to design, supply, manufacture and install both geothermal and aerothermal heat pumps.
In some cases our clients have requested specific brands and models of heat pumps. We are more than happy to accommodate.
Ontrak Services has access to many of the worlds leading brands, such as Stiebel Eltron, Water Furnace, Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Accent Air….just to name a few.
Levels of effiency and installation costs vary from brand to brand and model. We offer an unbiased opioning on each, so the client gets the best overall outcome and system that suits their budget.
