Fort Wayne, IN – WaterFurnace International introduces the new Geo-Ready™ Split to provide contractors and homeowners more flexibility when choosing geothermal heating and cooling. This innovative crossover heat pump (CHP) initially operates as a highly efficient air source heat pump before transitioning to a geothermal heat pump when the customer is ready – providing an immediate HVAC upgrade with convenient installation flexibility. This ready-to-install unit is immediately operational, making it ideal for customers that need an emergency replacement. It bridges the gap for homeowners who want to switch to geothermal but cannot do so at the time for any number of reasons, offering a solution for customers to commit to geothermal heating and cooling when they need quick comfort.
The process includes a few easy steps. Contractors first install the indoor and outdoor Geo-Ready Split to get the homeowner back into comfort immediately. The loop installation is then scheduled for a date that is convenient for the customer and installer. The contractor installs and connects the loop to the indoor unit. The outdoor unit is then removed and the homeowner officially starts receiving all of the efficiency, remote access monitoring, cost savings and comfort benefits that make geothermal attractive in today’s market. When operating on a ground loop, the system offers efficiencies twice that of normal air conditioners, heat pumps or furnaces (28 EER and 5 COP).
