Geothermal energy uses the earth’s stable underground temperature as a renewable source for heating and cooling. In HVAC applications, geothermal heat pumps move heat between the ground and a building, providing efficient heating in winter and cooling in summer. These systems can significantly reduce energy use and operating costs compared to conventional equipment.

Ground loops provide stable temperatures for efficient comfort.
A homeowner replaces a furnace and AC with a geothermal heat pump, using ground loops to deliver year-round comfort with lower energy bills.

“Compare long-term savings and available rebates to offset the higher upfront cost of geothermal systems.”
Geothermal heat pumps can deliver 3–6 units of heat for every unit of electricity used.
Is geothermal energy only for new construction?
No. Geothermal systems can be installed in existing homes with proper design.
Does geothermal work in all climates?
Yes. Ground temperatures are stable year-round, making geothermal effective in most climates.
How long do geothermal systems last?
Indoor heat pumps often last 20–25 years, and ground loops can last 50+ years.
