If you’re planning to build a new house, office building, or school, or replace your heating and cooling system, you may want to consider a geothermal heat pump (GHP) system. GHP systems are also known as GeoExchangeSM, ground-source, or water-source heat pumps (as opposed to air-source [...]

Geothermal heat pumps can reduce energy consumption—and corresponding air pollution emissions—up to 44% compared to air source heat pumps and up to 72% compared to electric resistance heating with standard air-conditioning equipment. (Source: EPA, 1993)
Geothermal heat pumps are viable nationwide. They use the Earth as a [...]

GHP systems have the lowest carbon dioxide emissions of all the heating and cooling technologies.
Low Energy Use
The biggest benefit of GHPs is that they use 25-50% less electricity than conventional heating or cooling systems. This translates into a GHP using one unit of electricity to move three [...]
