ES Series Unique Feature
- ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) Fan Motor – The field proven-efficiency and reliability of the GE ECM technology now georthemal-install-expertsmakes it possible to bring increased energy savings and precision speed control to your ES heat pump.
- Ultra-High Efficiency – The ECM motor is 20% to 30% more efficient than a standard motor.
- Constant Airflow – Constant airflow is critical to providing the greatest level of performance and comfort. Because of the unique design of the ECM motor, the desired airflow can be maintained under a wide range of operating conditions.
- Ultra-Quiet Operation – The soft start feature allows the motor to ramp up to speed eliminating the abrupt change in sound when the unit cycles on or off.
Geothermal Advantages
- Safe, Clean Operation – No flues, no flame, no dangerous carbon monoxide and a factory-sewage refrigerant circuit that make Geothermal technology an attractive alternative for sage, clean and environmentally friendly comfort for your home.
- Energy Efficiency – Geothermal units operate more efficiently than ordinary heating and cooling systems, saving you up to 60% in most cases and providing virtually free hot water.
- Durable Design – Geothermal heat pumps last longer because they are housed indoors and protected from harsh weather conditions. No defrost cycles are needed, which means less stress on critical components and no loss in operating efficiency.
- Better Comfort – Construct, even temperature and humidity control. Gone are the uneven temperatures experienced with ordinary furnaces and poor dehumidification you get from standard central air units.

About Florida Heat Pump (FHP)
Florida Heat Pump (FHP) is one of the only heating and air conditioning manufacturers dedicated solely to water source geothermal technology. This dedication shows in each individual unit that is produced in our nearly 100,000 fr2 facility in Lauredale, Florida. FHP delivers equipment to all corners of the world and continues to be the model of reliability while maintaining the best “quick ship” production facility in the industry. FHP has the same management team since our origin in 1969. This provides our company the stability in the marketplace that no other manufacturer can match. For your piece of mind, all of our products are safely listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) and performance certified by the Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Institute (ARI). FHP offers a wide range of equipment sizes, cabinet configurations and split system forced air models as well as water to water hydration equipment. You can relax in year round comfort and enjoy energy savings with Florida Heat Pump products. FHP understands that your purchase of a water source or geothermal heating and air conditioning system is a major expense and before you make any major purchasing decision you should do your home work.

Geothermal Ground Water Systems
Ground Water Systems (Open Loop) have been utilizing the earth’s natural heat source/heat sink ability for over 40 years. Ground Water Systems geothermal-ground-waterdraw water from an aquifer via a supply well, pass through the Geothermal heat pump’s heat exchanger where heat is exchanged with the refrigerant inside your FHP unit, then returned to the aquifer via a return well or simply disposed of per local code. Ground water temperatures remain very constant (usually within a degree) throughout the year despite wide variations in outside air temperature, therefore your FHP Unit will maintain it’s super high efficiency no matter how hot or cold it is outside. Ground Water Systems are ideally suited for homes that have existing water wells available or a good potential source for well water. When ground water is available this system usually has the lowest installed cost.
Geothermal Vertical Systems
Vertical Systems (Closed Loop) utilize the natural thermal properties of the earth in a similar manner to the Ground Water Systems. However, instead of pumping water out of a well then back into the ground, you simply circulate water or an antifreeze solution through a closed loop network of plastic pipe that is inserted into vertical bore holes. These vertical bore holes are typically drilled to a depth of 100 to 300 feet per ton of air conditioning or heating. The Vertical System is ideally suited for applications where available land area is limited. Similar to the Ground Water System, the FHP Manufacturing Vertical System avoids wide temperature swings of the outside air to deliver constant high efficiency and comfort no matter where you live.
Geothermal Horizontal Systems
Horizontal Systems (Closed Loop) also utilize the Earth’s plentiful and renewable thermal characteristics. Like the Vertical Systems, Horizontal geothermal-horisontal-systemsSystems circulate water or an antifreeze solution through a closed loop network of sealed and pressurized plastic pipe that is buried in the ground. Instead of inserting the plastic pipe into vertical wells the pipe is laid in horizontal trenches at a typical depth of 4 to 6 feet and at a length of 75 to 400 feet per ton of air conditioning or heating. Recent innovations in horizontal pipe configurations have made this system particularly attractive in first cost as well as operating efficiency. Typically a little more land area is required to install a Horizontal System. The same energy saving characteristics are enjoyed with the FHP Manufacturing Horizontal System as with the Vertical Systems.
Geothermal Pond or Lake Systems
Pond or Lake Systems (Closed Loop) may be the most economical closed loop system to install and has many advantages for producing energy savings. This system utilizes a nearby body of water such as a lake or a pond. As with the Vertical and Horizontal Systems it is a closed loop of sealed and pressurized plastic pipe and water or an antifreeze fluid solution. Instead of inserting the pipe into a vertical well or laying the pipe in a horizontal trench the pipe is submerged into a body of water (pond or lake) where it can utilize the consistent temperature and outstanding heat transfer characteristics of the water. No wells and very little trenching are required cutting installation costs. Once again the FHP Manufacturing Pond or Lake System is not subject to the cruel outside air temperatures that all air-to-air heat pumps are subject to year after year.
