Trusted Geothermal HVAC Systems Since 1975
Hydro-Temp has been a leader in geothermal heating, cooling, and hot water solutions since 1975. Founded on the principle of innovation, we hold a U.S. Patent for our priority hot water generation system that recycles waste heat to produce free hot water during cooling cycles. Our Variable Speed VStar series revolutionized energy efficiency with load-matching technology that reduces energy consumption while maintaining precise climate control. We collaborate with utility companies and research organizations to advance sustainable HVAC technologies, including ENERGY STAR-rated systems and Net-Zero building solutions. Our built-in zoning systems eliminate thermostat conflicts by allowing four distinct temperature zones per unit.With manufacturing capabilities for custom design-build projects, we serve residential, commercial, educational, and healthcare sectors nationwide. Our patented desuperheater technology provides domestic hot water at 1/4 the cost of conventional systems. We maintain partnerships with dealers across the United States to deliver tailored geothermal solutions. Our commitment to innovation is demonstrated through industry firsts, including the first variable speed geothermal unit and integrated zoning systems. Backed by 40+ years of experience, we continue developing cutting-edge technologies that combine comfort with environmental responsibility.

Services
Geothermal Heating
Our geothermal heating systems utilize underground loops to transfer heat efficiently. This technology reduces energy consumption by up to 70% compared to conventional systems while maintaining consistent indoor temperatures. Ideal for both residential and commercial applications, these systems provide reliable heating through advanced variable speed compressors and patented heat recovery technology.
Cooling Systems
Our cooling solutions combine variable speed technology with smart controls to optimize energy use. Systems capture waste heat during operation to generate free hot water while maintaining precise temperature and humidity control. Commercial units feature modulating capacity that matches building load requirements, reducing energy waste and equipment wear while maintaining occupant comfort in large facilities.
Hot Water Solutions
Our patented priority hot water generation system produces domestic hot water using recycled heat from cooling operations. This technology delivers free hot water during summer months and reduces heating costs by 75% in winter. Systems integrate seamlessly with radiant floor heating and pool heating applications while maintaining ENERGY STAR efficiency ratings for maximum cost savings.
Outside Air Units
We design air and water-cooled outside air units with capacities from 1,000 to 10,000 CFM. These systems feature energy recovery options including plate exchangers and desiccant wheels to reduce conditioning requirements. Available with natural gas heating modules, these units maintain indoor air quality while optimizing energy efficiency in commercial and institutional buildings through advanced ventilation strategies.
Custom Design-Build
Our engineering team creates custom HVAC solutions for unique applications not served by standard products. With 40+ years of experience, we develop specialized systems for challenging environments including healthcare facilities, schools, and industrial applications. This service includes prototype development and manufacturing of units with capacities ranging from 0.5 to 250 tons to meet specific project requirements.

Questions
What geothermal HVAC systems do you offer?
We provide residential and commercial geothermal systems including VStar variable speed units, 3Star multi-stage systems, and custom design-build solutions for new construction or retrofit projects.
How does your hot water generation technology work?
Our patented system captures waste heat during cooling cycles to produce domestic hot water at no additional cost during summer and 1/4 the normal cost in winter.
Do you offer zoning capabilities?
Yes, our systems include built-in zoning that allows up to four distinct temperature zones per unit with individual thermostat control.
Are financing options available?
While we don't directly offer financing, many customers utilize federal tax credits (30% through 2016) and local utility incentives for geothermal installations.
Can you support Net-Zero building projects?
Yes, we've participated in multiple Net-Zero school projects and provide systems that integrate with other energy-saving technologies like photovoltaic panels and insulated concrete forms.
Do you offer commercial HVAC solutions?
We specialize in commercial systems including water-cooled and air-cooled DOAS/MAU units up to 10,000 CFM with energy recovery options for healthcare, education, and office applications.
