The application of geothermal heating/cooling, also known as ground source heat pumps, has been named “the most energy-efficient and environmentally sensitive of al space conditioning systems:, by the Environmental Protection Agency. This unique “green” heating and cooling concept takes advantage of the earth’s constant temperature, approximately 55 degrees, to heat and cool a building. By tapping this steady flow of heat from the earth in winter, ad displacing heat in the summer, a geothermal heat pump can save homeowners 40-70 percent in heating costs and 30 to 50 percent in cooling costs compared to conventional systems. Ask your PPHC professional for more information on this state-of-the-art system.
