Geothermal Heating And Cooling System

Geothermal heat pumps can operate in any climate hot or cold because of the earth s constant underground temperature from 45 to 75 f depending on location.

Geothermal heating and cooling system.

A geothermal heat pump ghp or ground source heat pump gshp is a central heating and or cooling system that transfers heat to or from the ground. Ground source heat pumps and direct use geothermal technologies serve heating and cooling applications while deep and enhanced geothermal technologies generally take advantage of a much deeper higher temperature geothermal resource to generate electricity. Growth in the geothermal heating and cooling market averages 12 annually as demand continues to rise for highly efficient hvac systems leveraging sustainable energy. Geothermal energy is considered a renewable resource.

Today system pricing is more competitive than it was a decade ago because there are many more manufacturers selling ground source heating and cooling systems and there are more experienced installers competing. In fact millions of ghp systems are already heating and cooling homes and businesses worldwide and that includes all 50 u s. Deep and enhanced geothermal systems. It uses the earth all the time without any intermittency as a heat source in the winter or a heat sink in the summer.

Geothermal cooling systems work much like a traditional heat pump. But instead of drawing on the ambient air temperature they use the constant temperatures below ground to shed excess heat or. Geothermal heat pumps can be used in any climate.
