| Geothermal Heat Pumps Geothermal systems are the most efficient method to heat your home. They are like standard heat pumps in that they draw heat from somewhere else and concentrate and then bring it into your house. Standard heat pump or air-to-air heat pump remove heat from the outside air. They do this by making the outside coil colder than the outside air thereby attracting heat to it. When the outside temp drops however they produce less and less heat and they need a back up heat system to take over and shoulder the load. Usually that system is electric resistance heat furnace but it could also be a gas furnace and that system would then be known as a dual fuel or hybrid heat system. Geothermal system get their heat from the ground or the earth thus their name ‘geo’ or earth. The earth is a lot warmer than the air and it remains at a more constant temperature than the air therefore the geothermal unit warms your home by itself down to a much lower outside temperature compared to the air to air variety. This makes them more efficient and less costly to operate. A geothermal system can lower your fuel bills up to 75%. They are however, more expensive to install. |
