GeoStar
GeoStar is dedicated to producing the most affordable, efficient, and environmentally friendly geothermal heat pumps available. We know the importance of every dollar you put into your home and believe in the preservation of natural resources. We work hard every day to improve the affordability, efficiency, and environmentally friendliness of our systems — on top of that, we work hard every day to do the right thing in our manufacturing and office facility as well. GeoStar utilizes the highest-efficiency motors, compressors, air coils, and coaxes and tests every new component to determine if it exceeds current standards. Also, recycled materials are used in all major components which can then be recycled at the end of the equipment`s long and useful life. That in addition to recycling everything possible in-house means we practice what we preach and stand behind our message.

About Us
THE BENEFITS OF GEOSTAR
Homeowners are constantly looking for ways to save money — why not tap into the free energy right in your own back yard?
INSIDE GEOSTAR
There's an abundance of energy stored just below the surface of the earth that many homeowners today are taking advantage of — geothermal heating, cooling, and hot water. GeoStar offers a wide variety of residential geothermal products — all of which are factory-tested to ensure that you, the consumer, are getting the highest quality and efficiency possible.
HIGH QUALITY INSTALLATION
GeoStar knows it's important to have a high-quality installer along with a high-quality piece of equipment. This is why we only sell to dealers and distributors that have been through our service and installation courses. We are constantly holding training courses to certify contractors as GeoStar service technicians and installers. Also, should they need technical assistance down the road, we have a fully-staffed technical support team available 24/7 to assist these technicians.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS KEY
We also know that customer support is key — if you have any questions at all concerning your GeoStar unit, feel free to contact our consumer relations department. They are there to assist you with any questions you may have.
A greener today means a brighter tomorrow both for you and your family and for future generations. GeoStar is proud to be a part of the green revolution and is devoted to making our equipment as earth-friendly as possible — all while providing the most comfortable method of heating and cooling for your home.
The Benefits of Geothermal
GEOTHERMAL IS ALWAYS EFFICIENT
Energy and cost savings of geothermal heat pumps will vary by region and type of conventional system they're compared with. But the operating costs of geothermal versus conventional HVAC systems will almost always be lower—and the geothermal system is almost always the greener choice.
Lowest Operating Cost
A GeoStar geothermal system can deliver an astounding five units of energy for every one unit of electrical energy used. But what does that mean for you? It means your GeoStar unit utilizes stored earth energy and safe electric power — which provide five times the amount of energy for the cost of one unit. Homeowners can realize savings up to 70% for heating, cooling, and hot water.
Greatest Comfort
Our systems provide precise distribution of comfortable air year-round. This means you won't have the hot or cold spots common with other systems. You also won't have to deal with the hot blasts associated with gas furnaces or the cooler air of an air source heat pump. Our units run more consistently which means your home is consistently comfortable — the air is even dehumidified in cooling mode so you can enjoy cool dry air.
Quietest
Picture this — you're relaxing outdoors in the peace and quiet until your neighbor's noisy air conditioner kicks on and disturbs your peace. GeoStar geothermal units are heating and cooling all in one package which means no noisy outdoor unit — everything is inside. We specially design these systems for incredibly quiet operation.
Reliable
Since there is no noisy outdoor unit to worry about, our geothermal systems are not bothered by the wear and tear normally caused by rain, snow, ice, debris, temperature, or vandalism. Our indoor systems have proven to be very reliable and require very little maintenance — just like your refrigerator.
Environmentally Friendly
Our systems emit no carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, or other greenhouse gasses that can be harmful to the environment and your family. We know your first priority is to keep your home and family safe and comfortable — now you can do that as well as helping the environment. GeoStar units are truly a natural green way of life.
It's Everywhere
Harnessing geothermal energy is possible virtually anywhere.
CREATE A GREENER, MORE ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOME
Governmental agencies like the EPA and Department of Energy, consumer and industry groups, and geothermal system owners all agree: geothermal heating and cooling is considered the world's greenest and most energy-efficient.
GEOTHERMAL HEATING AND COOLING
No matter what climate you live in, the temperature throughout the year varies. For some climates that means blazing summers that cool to frigid winters. What many people don't realize is that the temperature below ground (regardless of climate or season) stays fairly consistent all year.
The ground absorbs 47% of the sun's energy as it hits the Earth's surface — this is how the ground is able to hold a consistent temperature. Whether you're in chilly Seattle or balmy Miami, the temperature just below the frost line stays relatively consistent. GeoStar geothermal systems tap into this free energy with an earth loop, which is where it all begins
FOUR BASIC GEOTHERMAL ENERGY SOURCES
Closed-loop systems circulate a water-based solution through a 'loop system' of small-diameter, high-density polyethylene underground pipes. Closed-loop systems can be installed horizontally, vertically or in a pond. Open-loop systems use an existing water well or surface water. Whether the system is open or closed, heat is transferred to or from the structure, regardless of outdoor temperature, to provide year-round comfort.
Horizontal Loops
Often used when adequate land surface is available. Depending on geothermal system needs and space available, pipes are placed in trenches that range in length from 100 to 400 feet.
Vertical Loops
The ideal choice for a geothermal heat pump when available land surface is limited. Well drilling equipment is used to bore small-diameter holes from 100 to 400 feet deep.
Pond / Lake Loops
Very economical to install when a large body of water is available for use by the geothermal heating and cooling system. Coils of pipe are simply placed on the bottom of the pond or lake to capture the geothermal energy.
Open Loops
In ideal conditions, an open-loop application can be the most economical type of geothermal system. These use groundwater from a well as a direct energy source.
