A geothermal system, also known as a geothermal heat pump or ground source heat pump (GSHP), is a highly efficient and eco-friendly heating, cooling, and water heating system that utilizes the stable temperature of the earth to exchange heat with a building’s interior. It uses the earth’s natural heat to provide a comfortable indoor environment while significantly reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional heating and cooling systems. The Earth absorbs almost 50% of all solar energy and remains at a constant temperature of 50°F to 70°F depending on geographical location. A geothermal unit utilizes this constant temperature for heating and cooling your home.
You can realize up to 60% energy savings vs. traditional systems. There is no flame, no flue, no odors and no loud outdoor equipment. Heating, air conditioning and hot water can all be obtained from a single compact unit.
