Few organizations are aware of their actual cost of heating water

Be the one to offer them a clean energy solution with a high ROI. The system is particularly well suited to clients who wish to achieve energy independence, reduction of carbon emissions or LEED green-building certification.

EarthLinked Water Heating systems pay for themselves within 3 to 5 years on average, and sometimes faster due to lower installation costs or the higher cost of the fuel being displaced.

Every day, the Earth acts as a giant solar collector and storage battery by capturing almost half of the solar energy that reaches its surface in the form of heat. EarthLinked® Water Heating employs its proprietary geothermal heat pump to collect this renewable energy directly from the first 100 feet of the earth’s surface, and delivers it to preheat large quantities of water. The system simply transfers heat from one location to another, rather than consuming energy to create heat.

In the U.S., lodging facilities spend an average 42% of their energy budget to heat water, while restaurants spend 32%, and healthcare spends 18%. The lifecycle economics of EarthLinked Water Heating consistently outperform those of any other system in the market, including fossil-fuel and electric water heating. Unlike water heating with dedicated solar collectors, it is cost-effective in any location, and independent of weather conditions and sunshine. The EarthLinked heat pump is even transferring heat from the earth in Alaska.

Superior Geothermal Heat Pump Technology

Geothermal heat pumps have been around for many years, but technological advances and increasing awareness are now accelerating the adoption of this elegant technology, growing at over 20% annually.

EarthLinked is the only geothermal heat pump company to offer an EPA-verified, dedicated commercial water heating system, thanks to its unique Direct Exchange heat pump technology. With proprietary refrigerant flow controls unrivaled in the industry, EarthLinked Water Heating functions without the need for an intermediate water circulating system to exchange heat, and thus is simpler, smaller and more efficient than other geothermal heat pumps.

The system makes the water heating application economically superior through reduced installation cost and high performance. It requires less drilling and heat exchange equipment than water-based geothermal heat pumps and the direct exchange capability delivers greater performance.
