Welcome to Hydron Module

Sincere care for customers, installers, distributors, and employees is something Hydron Module’s entire leadership team embodies, starting with our founder, Steve Smith, with vast experience in the geothermal heat pump industry.

Steve was introduced to geothermal heat pumps in 1983 when he was the Director of Member Services for a southwestern Illinois electric cooperative. After learning more about geothermal heat pumps and seeing the benefits for both homeowners and the cooperative, he helped start and fully managed a geothermal distribution company owned by several electric cooperatives.

With a passion for customer service, Steve and his wife, Karen, started Enertech Inc., a geothermal heat pump distribution company in Greenville, IL. In 2007, Enertech started manufacturing its own geothermal heat pump brands including, Hydron Module geothermal systems. Through years of growth, the company became Enertech Global and is now a part of NIBE Climate Solutions.

Steve has worked to further the geothermal heat pump industry, serving as an active member of the Geothermal Exchange Organization (GEO), speaking at industry-related events, and demonstrating his thought leadership through industry publications.

Hydron Module has a rich history with quality at its core. Originally hand-crafted by Hutterites in South Dakota, the commitment to building a reliable, sturdy heat pump remains. Hydron Module geothermal systems are built in the heart of America, Mitchell, SD, by a team dedicated to continuous improvement and quality control. Hydron Module offers the best residential geothermal warranty as a testament to the thorough testing performed on each unit. Before leaving the production facility, each Hydron Module unit is turned on and ran in both the heating and cooling mode to ensure its running optimally.

Advanced design to meet home and building owners’ needs, along with specialized component selection for quality gives Hydron Module a competitive advantage. To demonstrate, all Hydron Module vertical-packaged units have micro-channel air coils, preventing corrosion for a longer lifespan and further reliability. Hydron Module implemented this change first as an answer to customer feedback and an industry-wide need. ECM blower motor, which ensures quiet start-up and operates at a fraction of the cost compared to conventional blower motors, come standard with Hydron Module products.

Hydron Module systems offer more at every opportunity, including hot water assist, which are standard on residential units. This feature allows for unused to be captured and applied to water heating, typically cutting hot water costs 25% - 40%. Unit for unit, Hydron Module geothermal systems offer higher heating capacities than competing geothermal brands, which results in lower heating costs for home and building owners

When you become a Hydron Module owner, you join a family that values quality, craftsmanship, and dedication above all else. We are determined to offer you a product that keeps you comfortable for its lifetime, all while offering genuine customer care for any need that may arise.
