What Is a Geothermal Heat Pump?
Unlike air-source systems, geothermal heat pumps exchange heat with the ground rather than the outside air. This allows them to operate consistently and efficiently in both summer and winter.
A typical geothermal system includes:
- Ground loop: Horizontal or vertical piping buried underground, circulating water or antifreeze
- Heat pump unit: Located indoors, it handles both heating and cooling
- Distribution system: Delivers air through ducts or water through radiant tubing
These systems work in all weather conditions, with no outdoor condenser and extremely low noise output.
