Many U.S. homeowners are transitioning from traditional heating and cooling systems to heat pumps. Heat pumps outsold furnaces for the first time in 2023. Industry experts expect that trend to continue. The most sophisticated heat pump available is a geothermal system.

A heat pump is similar to an air conditioner in that it moves heat from one area to another. An AC moves heat from inside the home to the outside, and a heat pump does the same. It also has a reversing valve that lets it move heat from the outside to the inside.
The most prevalent type of heat pump has traditionally been an air-source system. That means that it transfers heat to and from the ambient air. The problem with that approach is that there is limited heat energy in the air during winter. Therefore, air-source heat pumps have a cold temperature threshold at which they’re no longer efficient. This is why many homes in our area with a heat pump also have a furnace for auxiliary heating. When the temperature drops too low, the heat pump turns off, and the furnace takes over.
This is not a concern with a geothermal heat pump. These systems transfer heat energy to and from the ground. Heat energy in the ground is abundant and consistent no matter how cold it gets outside. That means a geothermal heat pump can deliver efficient heating and cooling in all weather.
Geothermal systems are more expensive to purchase and install, but that investment pays off over the equipment’s lifetime. A wide range of rebates and tax credits are also available to help make these systems more affordable.
There are many benefits to modern geothermal heating and cooling systems:
Quiet operation
Total cost of ownership
Long equipment lifespan
Improved indoor air quality
Reduced heating and cooling costs
