Ground Source Heat Pump

Ground source heat pumps utilize geothermal energy for heating and cooling. During cold weather, heat pumps absorb heat from the earth and carry it into the home via an underground system of closed-loop, liquid-filled pipes. The heat pump's indoor unit delivers this heat through the ductwork to every part of the house.

During the summer, the heat pump works like a central air conditioner, transferring heat from your home to the ground outside and returning cooled liquid to the inside unit.

Air Source Heat Pump

An air-source heat pump can both heat and cool your home. During winter, it uses refrigeration technology to extract heat from cold outside air (even down to zero degrees) and boosts it to a useable level to heat your home. The heat is then distributed by a forced-air furnace.

During the summer, the reverse cycle removes heat from your indoor air and expels it outside.
