When we talk about “tons” in geothermal systems, we’re referring to cooling capacity rather than weight. One ton of geothermal capacity equates to moving 12,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units) of heat per hour.
ECS Geothermal Installed 367 Tons of Geothermal Loop in 2024!
At ECS Geothermal, we are committed to providing energy-efficient, eco-friendly heating and cooling solutions. In 2024, we proudly installed 367 tons of geothermal loop, helping homeowners harness the power of the earth for reliable, cost-effective climate control.
That means with 367 tons installed, ECS Geothermal has enabled the movement of 4,404,000 BTUs of heat per hour—a major step toward sustainable energy use!
Geothermal vs. Traditional Heating and Cooling
A 367-ton geothermal system provides the same heating and cooling capacity as:
- Approximately 367 conventional air conditioning units (each rated at 1 ton or 12,000 BTUs per hour).
- Dozens of gas furnaces, which typically range from 40,000 to 120,000 BTUs per hour, meaning geothermal can replace multiple traditional heating systems.
- Significant energy savings, as geothermal units operate at 300-500% efficiency, while conventional HVAC systems max out at 90-98% efficiency for high-efficiency gas furnaces.
The difference is clear—geothermal systems provide more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly climate control compared to traditional heating and cooling methods.
Spring is right around the corner! Time to start thinking about a tune-up!
Our preventative maintenance inspection package (PMI’s) is all about making sure your system keeps running as smoothly as the day you got it. It allows our technicians to review your unit to confirm that your geothermal unit is still operating optimally. We check things such as refrigerant pressures, loop pressure, temperature, the heat of extraction & rejection, amp draw, the hot water pump, strip heater, air coil, condensate drain, & more.
