1. A polymodal heat pump, configured to heat domestic water and bidirectionally move heat between ambient air and beneath a ground surface; the polymodal heat pump comprising:
a compressor, further comprising a compressor intake and a compressor discharge;
a receiver or an accumulator, joined to the compressor discharge is connected;
a first reversing valve, joined to the receiver or the accumulator and the compressor intake;
a first coil, joined to the first reversing valve with a second motorized valve,
a geothermal heat exchanger, joined to the first reversing valve with a third motorized valve;
a second coil, joined to the first reversing valve with a fourth motorized valve;
a first electronic expansion valve, joined to the second coil;
a second electronic expansion valve, joined to the first coil through the first electronic expansion valve;
a third electronic expansion valve, connected to a line between the first electronic expansion valve and the second electronic expansion valve;
wherein the first coil is part of an outdoor air handling unit, and the second coil is part of an indoor air handling unit; in order to transfer heat between the first coil, the second coil and a ground water source proximate the geothermal heat exchanger.
