Heat Pumps We Service
Heat pumps either move heat out of your home to cool it or move heat inside to heat it. The heat moved inside can come from either the air, ground, or water.
Geothermal Heat Pumps: Geothermal heat pumps pull heat from the Earth's natural temperature or a nearby body of water. Despite their higher startup cost, geothermal systems save money over time due to their efficiency. These eco-friendly systems can last for decades when properly maintained and are a great investment if your property allows for installation.
Air-Source Heat Pumps: Like geothermal systems, air-source heat pumps move heat from outside. In their case, the air-source heat pumps pull heat from the air outside instead of the ground or water.
Heat Pump Installation Service
Aire Serv of Lake Oswego provides heat pump installation services for your home. The amount of time a heat pump installation takes depends on the type of system chosen. With an air-source unit, installation can often be completed in a single day, thanks to how similar it is to existing air conditioners and heating systems. A geothermal system, however, depends on groundwork, which can take up to several weeks to complete.
Before installing a geothermal unit, our team of professionals will arrive to evaluate the plot of land and the subsoil properly. After thoroughly inspecting the area, we’ll design a system built around your heating and cooling goals.
Geothermal Preparation
Different types of ground loops can be used while installing geothermal units. Two of the most common types are:
Horizontal Ground Loops - These types of groundwork systems require a large amount of land due to how far they spread out. Their trenches are dug hundreds of feet long and are about 6-10 feet deep.
Vertical Ground Loops - These systems are for homes and businesses with less land. They can run as deep as 200-500 feet and can be an excellent alternative for those who are looking to preserve their surrounding landscaping.
