Geothermal heat pumps have gained significant popularity across the United States in the past decade.  Currently, interest in this technology has reached an all time high.  This surge is being led by the increasing knowledge that geothermal systems deliver a high level of comfort at significantly reduced energy costs.  Couple this with the equipments long life expectancy, the ability to generate domestic hot water and the fact that it is able to do this by using a renewable energy source found in the earth and many homeowners find that geothermal technology is an investment well worth making.

Advantages of a Geothermal Heat Pump System

Very low operating costs Ability to generate all domestic hot water Eliminate dependence on fossil fuels (oil, gas, propane) No outdoor unit (noise - eyesore) Renewable energy source from earth Produces warm air (even on cold winter days) Capable of supporting radiant heat system Longer life expectancy than conventional heat pumps Environmentally friendly
