If you’re looking for an energy-efficient means of year-round heating and cooling, geothermal heat pumps offer the solution. Unlike air-source heat pumps, which rely on the fluctuating temperature of outside air as their source of heat energy, geothermal systems extract their heat directly from the ground, taking advantage of the constant temperatures several feet underground.

Heat Pumps For Cold Climates: Reverse Cycle Chillers
Air-source heat pumps work very efficiently to heat and cool many homes, but they’re designed to perform in temperate climates. When temperatures drop to extreme winter lows, air-source systems become less efficient. Reverse cycle chillers (RCCs) solve this problem — and make heat-pump systems more efficient. RCCs also work with a variety of heating and […]
Big Tax Credits On For Geothermal Heat Pumps
Did you miss out on the 2010 federal energy efficiency tax credits? Thankfully, there are plenty more opportunities to take advantage of tax credits that expire in 2011 or later. Geothermal heat pumps are one of the technologies that are included, and the best part is, there is no limit to the amount of the […]
