You Should Know!

A ground source heat pump takes advantage of the earth’s constant temperature to provide highly efficient heating and cooling. In the winter, fluid circulating in underground pipes carries the earth’s heat to your home, where it is then concentrated to provide heating. In the summer, the process is reversed and heat from your home is carried back to the earth through the pipes to provide cooling.

    1. A closed loop, which circulates fluid through an underground field. The loop is enclosed in vertical and/or horizontal trenches.
    2. Single or multiple pumps, fans, and compressors that provide heating and cooling.
    3. A distribution system, typically ductwork, that carries air throughout the home to maintain an even temperature.

    ENERGY STAR® certified ground source heat pumps can reduce energy costs by 20 to 70 percent. A ground source heat pump is a reliable, low-maintenance, and environmentally friendly heating and cooling choice. It operates safely and quietly, with no combustion, direct emissions, or exposed outdoor equipment, such as a fuel tank. Because it is mechanically simple and all exterior equipment is below ground, protected from the weather, maintenance costs are often lower than other heating and cooling systems.

     

    • Low-cost heating and cooling: Compared to other heating and cooling systems, ground source heat pumps typically cost less to operate.
    • Low-cost maintenance: compared to other heating and cooling systems, ground source heat pumps typically have lower maintenance costs.
    • Comfort & Convenience: Ground source heat pumps provide consistent indoor temperature and humidity levels.
    • Environmentally Friendly: Ground source heat pumps offer the potential to have zero greenhouse gas impacts when paired with a 100% renewable energy source.

    We were in the black from day one. As it turns out, the cost of the loan payment is less than what we’re saving in heating and cooling costs. Eventually, when the loan is paid off, it will be all profit.

    Case Study

    Case Studies, when available, can help bolster the position 
    for making significant upgrades. They are able to give you a realistic picture of the benefits and challenges you may face with any upgrades to your homes heating and cooling system.

    For example: Every year the Rosengrant family saves approximately:

    •  $384

    •  548 kilowatt-hours of electricity

    •  110 gallons of oil annually
