A short description of a Geothermal heat pump system: the sun radiates heat daily all over the earth which is stored beneath the ground at a constant temperature.(Northern US 45-55degrees) Currently systems are being installed daily from Northern Canada to Florida.

A heat pump circulates a liquid under ground or in a pond that exchanges BTU's with a refrigerant. The heat pump then increases the temperature of the refrigerant to 120-140 degrees during the heating season and reverses during the cooling season. (Remember the bicycle pump heating up when pumped) The system transfers BTU's to or from the earth.

The only energy used is electrical to run a blower or pump depending on the system whether radiant or a forced air system.

So a Geothermal system is partially a form of solar that works 24/7 in any area, not requiring oil, gas or propane to operate. You are no longer tied to the wild swings of the oil and gas industry and the system keeps paying for itself.

A Geothermal system can also be multi-functional including radiant in-floor heat, forced air heating and cooling, refrigeration and hot water heating. A great option for new construction or retro-fitting an existing residential or commercial building.
