GeothermalGround-Source Heat Pump
Exchanges heat with the ground rather than the air.
A geothermal heat pump exchanges heat with the ground instead of the outside air. A few feet down, the earth stays close to a constant temperature all year.
That stability is the whole advantage. An air-source heat pump has to work hardest exactly when the outdoor air is least helpful; a ground-source unit is always exchanging heat with something around 55°F. The result is the lowest running cost of any system we install, and equipment that lasts a long time because it never sees temperature extremes.
The trade-off is the loop field. Installing one means either boring vertical wells or excavating horizontal trenches, and that puts the up-front cost well above a conventional system. It suits people who have the land, are staying put, and are taking a long view.
