Geothermal, or ground source heat pumps, can be a great way to heat and cool using the temperature of the earth.
Ground Source Heat Pump Basics:
- Heat transfer is with the ground.
- Very energy efficient!
- Can meet 100% of heating and cooling needs.
- High upfront costs, low operating costs.
- Lot size needs to be considered.
- Excavation required: less for vertical, more for horizontal.
