Geothermal Systems Provide "Free" Hot Water

What is a Desuperheater?

There are a lot of innovative products on the market that seek to supply hot water more efficiently. This includes newer technologies like on-demand production, heat pump water heaters, and solar solutions. The question is, do these options make sense here in Las Cruces ?

Before you buy a technology that's capable of one thing, consider a geothermal system. A Las Cruces geothermal heat pump not only offers heating and cooling from a single unit, it also gives you free hot water.

A desuperheater captures the wasted heat normally generated by a unit's compressor and applies it to modify the water. This additional heat is generated in both heating and cooling modes, but the hot water benefit is greatest while the unit is cooling. In the summer, geothermal units run more frequently and can provide most, if not all, of your hot water. However, during the fall, winter, and spring months - when the desuperheater isn't capturing as much surplus heat - you'll need to use your existing water heating system.

If you'd like to have geothermal supply 100% of your hot water needs, we also offer dedicated hydronic equipment that's easily installed. Like solar solutions, the geothermal hydronic equipment qualifies for the 30% federal tax credit. However, unlike solar solutions, geothermal provides hot water 24 hours a day, rain or shine.

"Free hot water just one more reason to choose geothermal products. Set up an appointment with one of our specialists to evaluate your needs, and whether or not a geothermal solution makes sense for you.
