The energy-efficiency criteria for geothermal heat pumps to qualify for the Energy Star program requires an EER rating of 16.2.
The Tranquility 20 (single stage) has an EER rating of 20, showing that not all Energy Star qualified systems are equal.

ClimateMaster Flow Controllers contain all of the components necessary for providing the maximum heat transfer from the ground loop to the geothermal heat pump. Quiet, water cooled circulator pump(s) are installed in a polystyrene cabinet that is fully insulated to prevent condensation during winter operation. |

One of the most important aspects of a geothermal heating and cooling system is its ability to deliver the conditioned or heated air into your home. For the ultimate in airflow control, ClimateMaster offers an available ECM Variable Speed fan motor on the Genesis Packaged and Tranquility 20� Series (Standard on Tranquility 27�).
Unlike a conventional blower motor, which is designed to operate at one speed, the ECM motor can run in a wide range of speeds. This ability allows the motor to match the unit airflow to the ductwork system in any home. |

The AG Series internal auxiliary electric heater is available for ClimateMaster Genesis and Tranquility series geothermal heat pumps to boost heating capacity during very cold weather. Depending upon geographic location, ClimateMaster heat pumps can handle 80% to 100% of the heating requirements. The remainder is supplied by the auxiliary heater.
Since the amount of auxiliary heat required is typically very small, AG Series electric heaters make good economic sense, and help avoid the oversizing of equipment, which can increase installation costs and decrease comfort. |

Radiant floor heating has been used for centuries. The Romans channeled hot air under the floors of their villas for added warmth. In the 1930’s, architect Frank Lloyd Wright piped hot water through the floors of many of his buildings, including all of those found in Levittown, N.Y.

Advantages of Geothermal Radiant Floor Heating
1. Independent zoning
2. Lower operating costs than forced air systems
3. Ductless
4. Quiet
5. Reliable, fewer moving parts
6. Easily controlled
7. Space savings - Fewer limitations of furniture or room arrangements
8. Can be matched to another system for air conditioning, if needed
9. Equipment requires smaller installation footprint than a standard boiler installation
10. Does not require complex ventilation to vent away potentially harmful combustion gases
11. No combustion chamber to maintain and clean
12. No risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning
Most people who own radiant floor heating feel that the most important advantages are comfort and quiet operation. Radiant floor systems allow even heating throughout the whole floor, not just in localized spots as with other types of heating systems. The room heats from the bottom up, warming the feet and body first. |

| Hot Water Generator |
Back to Top |
The hot water generator option, also known as a desuperheater, reclaims excess heat produced throughout the year and delivers it to the home for substantially less cost than electric or gas water heaters. Typical savings are 40 to 50%, which can amount to hundreds of Dollars, depending upon hot water usage. The hot water generator operates any time the geothermal system is heating or cooling.
This option includes an additional heat exchanger and circulation pump built into the unit. Piping is connected from the geothermal heat pump to a standard electric water heater, using the water heater as a storage tank and for back up hot water generation when the unit is not heating or cooling in the spring or fall, or during mild outdoor temperatures. |

|
| Most homeowners choose this option for their geothermal system, since the savings can be dramatic. |

Recent EPA studies indicate that indoor levels of many pollutants may be 25 times and occasionally more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels. In general, indoor air is four to five times more polluted than outdoor air. |
|
| |
| Fortunately, our Geothermal Heat Pumps offer a variety of standard and optional features that can take all the worry out of the indoor air quality in your home or business. Our products can ship with a MERV 11 air filter - a 2 inch, state of the art filter that is unsurpassed in performance and durability. |
