A commercial heat pump requires a geothermal collector system, much like a borehole water well pump. You can install a geothermal water well pump on your own, but until recently, it didn't pump water very efficiently. A geothermal system is a special set of pipes that capture and store heat from the ground. These pipes are buried around the building or site of use so that the water and the heat do not have to travel very far to reach the business or home. Instead, they are brought to the site through a sealed pipe system.

A commercial heat pump works the same way. It is designed to store the heat from the earth. The system is connected in the same manner as any other heating and cooling device is connected. For instance, you would set up a geothermal water well pump in your house and then turn it on to pump water into your house, but unless it's connected to a well source, it will not pump much heat to the air conditioning systems in your house. Therefore, the same principles that apply to heating and cooling devices are also applied to commercial heat pumps.

These commercial heat pumps come in two types. There is the ground source version and then there are vented versions of these devices. The ground source version involves digging deep into the ground for the pump and then installing it within a well. The installation of the device would require professional assistance, which may be expensive.

On the other hand, the vented commercial heat pump is installed at the roof of the structure and then connected directly to the vents in the structure. This kind of commercial heat pump is more energy efficient than the ground source version. However, the installation of this device also has its own set of complications. It takes longer time to install than the former one and it also has more parts that need to be installed and adjusted properly.

When it comes to using such kind of heating and cooling devices, the most common use for them is at commercial establishments like hotels, restaurants and banks. A commercial heat pump can be installed on any of these locations, especially if you have the money to spend for it. These electric heating and cooling systems are very efficient when it comes to using electricity as a form of energy. Compared to other forms of heating and cooling systems, this type is more cost-effective. Some of the biggest reasons why they are cost-effective include their ability to make use of the smallest amount of electrical energy, unlike those that use natural gas and oil, which can be more costly.

Finally, before you decide on whether or not to purchase a water heat pump, you should know that they have operating costs. This operating costs will include the price of their electricity source, their operational expenses and the maintenance costs. The operating costs may be lower if you purchase them from a reputable manufacturer, as operating costs will be controlled mainly by how the manufacturer handles its product. On the other hand, if you are buying your device from a local hardware store, you might be spending more because of local operating costs.
