Geothermal Heating and Cooling

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. While conventional furnaces and boilers burn a fuel to generate heat, geothermal heat pumps use electricity to simply move heat from the earth into buildings, allowing much higher efficiencies. The most efficient fuel-burning heater can reach efficiencies around 95%, 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.

Geothermal Heat Pumps

Homeowners in virtually every region of the country are enjoying a high level of comfort and significantly reducing their energy use today by heating and cooling their homes with geothermal heat pumps (GHPs).

Geothermal heat pump technology relies primarily on the Earth’s natural thermal energy, a renewable resource, to heat or cool a home or commercial building. 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 building.

Homeowners who use GHP systems give them superior ratings because of their ability to

Join Our Industry !

Geothermal heating and air conditioning is rapidly growing throughout North America. Interested in joining us? Engineers and system designers can become Certified GeoExchange ^® Designers through the Association of Energy Engineers with training provided by the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association.

Heating and air conditioning contractors, drilling companies and excavators can expand business opportunities by taking IGSHPA Accredited Installer Training or IGSHPA Accredited Driller Training. This training also includes training in heat fusion of high density polyethylene (HDPE) geothermal pipe and fitting.
