Inside a 50-Ton Nordic Geothermal System
Kent walks through a real 50-ton Nordic ground-source heat pump install, covering vertical loops, a 500-gallon buffer tank, and how the system delivers 50–60% energy savings on a 30,000 sq ft commercial space.
- Ground-source (geothermal) heat pumps pull heat from stable underground temperatures year-round.
- Vertical loops are drilled deep into bedrock, ideal when you don't have horizontal land for trenching.
- A 500-gallon buffer tank smooths demand and protects compressor cycling on big commercial loads.
- Real-world result on this 30,000 sq ft building: 50–60% energy savings vs. conventional heating.
