Geothermal heat pumps owe their unparalleled efficiency to the fact that the earth maintains a more or less stable temperature profile regardless of the season or weather happening up at the surface. As you would imagine, the deeper the depth, the less impacted the earth’s temperature is by the weather conditions above. In a closed loop geothermal system, water flows through a ground loop circuit, traveling through the stable underground environment, absorbing heat in the winter, and dispersing heat in the summer as it goes. As the ground loop adds or subtracts more and more heat to or from th ..read more

What is a ground loop? A ground loop is a series of pipes buried underground at a depth where temperatures stay consistent year-round. It serves as the critical link allowing geothermal heat pumps to use the earth as a heat source or heat sink, depending on if heating or cooling is required. How does a ground loop work? Just a few feet below the ground’s surface, the earth maintains a steady 50-55 degrees no matter what the temperature of the outside air. This difference in temperature allows the earth to act as a heat source in winter and a heat sink in summer. A geothermal heat pump (located ..read more

Benjamin Franklin famously claimed that nothing in this world is certain except for death and taxes. That may have been true in his day, but as any homeowner can attest today: we can now add utility bills to that shortlist of certainties. According to US News and World Report, the average homeowner should reserve up to 10% of their budget to spend on electricity, water, heating, and cooling. What many people don’t know when they’re buying their first home is just how much of that utility budget will be going towards keeping you and your family warm through the winter. The US Energy and Informa ..read more
