Geothermal heating and cooling, also known as a ground source heat pumps, has recently been named the “the most energy-efficient and environmentally sensitive of all space conditioning systems”, but the Environmental Protection Agency. The system’s basic concept takes advantage of the earth’s constant temperature, approximately 55 degrees, to both heat and cool a home. By using this steady flow of heat from the earth in the winter and displacing the heat in the earth during the summer, a geothermal heat pump can save homeowners anywhere from 40% to 70% in heating costs and 30% to 50% in cooling cost compared to conventional systems.
