The only company that has exclusively designed and installs geothermal heat pumps for the last 25 years.

Geothermal heating and cooling uses the relatively constant temperature of the earth to heat and cool homes and businesses with 40% to 70% less energy than conventional systems. The most efficient fuel-burning heater can reach efficiencies around 95% to 98%, but a geothermal heat pump can move up to 4 units of heat for every unit of electricity needed to power the system, resulting…

The only company that has exclusively designed and installs geothermal heat pumps for the last 25 years.

Geothermal heating and cooling uses the relatively constant temperature of the earth to heat and cool homes and businesses with 40% to 70% less energy than conventional systems. The most efficient fuel-burning heater can reach efficiencies around 95% to 98%, but a geothermal heat pump can move up to 4 units of heat for every unit of electricity needed to power the system, resulting in a practical equivalence of over 400% efficiency. The only additional energy GHP systems require is the small amount of electricity they employ to concentrate what Mother Nature provides and then to circulate high-quality heating and cooling throughout the home or building. In addition, they are helping the environment by avoiding the use of fossil fuels or other technologies that can create greenhouse gases and deplete the ozone. Finally, geothermal heating systems can add to a home's value, making it more attractive to buyers. These systems last for many years with little or no maintenance.

Geothermal heat pumps work differently than conventional heat pumps that use the outdoor air as their heat source or heat sink. Geothermal heat pump systems don’t have to work as hard (which means they use less energy) because they draw heat from a source whose temperature is moderate. The temperature of the ground or groundwater a few feet beneath the Earth’s surface remains relatively constant throughout the year, even though the outdoor air temperature may fluctuate greatly with the change of seasons.

Owners of a geothermal heat pump systems can relax and enjoy high-quality heating and cooling year after year. These systems work on a different principle than an ordinary furnace/air conditioning system, and they require little maintenance or attention from homeowners. Geothermal heat pump systems can also provide all or part of a household’s hot water. One economical way to obtain a portion of domestic hot water is through the addition of a desuperheater to the geothermal heat pump's unit.

Geothermal heating and cooling requires no burning of fossil fuels at the heating or cooling locations, unlike other types of heating that use natural gas or heating oil furnaces. But in order to achieve the most comfort, geothermal heat pumps can be paired with a other heating systems to dramatically reduce the amount of fuel needed to heat the structure.

Radiant, pools, hots tubs, snow melt, a ground source heat pump can perform all of those.
