Why Use Geothermal Heat Pumps

The use of a geothermal heat pump will be more cost effective, as the equipment will last longer than most all central heating and cooling equipment. Geoexchange cooling and heating systems are the world's best air treatment systems for home and buisiness. This can be said without any argument. Touted by the EPA (Eviromental Protection Agency) as the most energy efficient, enviromentally friendly, and cost effective heating and cooling technologies on the planet.

Geothermal heat pumps (GHP) are a relatively new technology that can save homeowners money. These ground-source heat pumps use the natural heat storage capacity of the earth and/or underground water to deliver energy efficient heating and cooling. GHPs are often mistaken as air source heat pumps. Not true, as air source pumps require a heated air resource.

Geothermal heat pumps use the virtually consistent temperature of the ground or water many feet below the earth surface as resource for cooling and heating buildings. Not only does a geothermal exchange system heat and cool a domicile, or place of business, but it can also be utilized for hot water heating as well.
