What is a Geothermal Heat Pump ?
Geothermal heat pumps (GHPs) are a fairly new technology that can save homeowners significant money on their heating and cooling bills. These ground-source heat pumps use the natural heat storage capacity of the earth to provide super efficient heating and cooling.
Geothermal heat pumps use the relatively constant temperature of the ground several feet below the earth's surface as a source of energy for heating and cooling. Geothermal heat pumps can be used in a retrofit or a new home. In addition to heating and cooling, geothermal heat pumps can provide domestic hot water. They can be used for virtually any size home or lot in any region of the U.S.
