Frequently Asked Questions
Are all heat pumps geothermal?
No. Heat pumps may be air source, geothermal (ground- or water-source), or hybrid.
How does a geothermal heat pump work?
When you want to heat your home, geothermal heat pumps harness solar energy from a few feet below the earth’s surface or from a body of water. In a closed-loop system, pipes filled with a conducting liquid are buried below the ground in your yard or beneath your driveway. The liquid in the pipes is circulated through the heat pump in your home, bringing thermal energy from the ground, indoors.
When you want to cool your home, the heat pump works in reverse, absorbing hot, humid air and moving it underground to cool and dehumidify your home.
Do geothermal heat pumps work in cold climates?
Yes, and much more efficiently than air-source heat pumps. While the air temperature plummets in cold weather leaving the unit with less heat to harvest, underground temperatures stay pretty much the same throughout the winter months. Geothermal heat pumps are an excellent, highly efficient option for homeowners in cold or four-season climates.
How much does it cost to install a geothermal heat pump?
Geothermal systems are a significant investment, but many property owners note that they pay for themselves over time! The exact cost of installation will vary based on the type of system chosen.
