Geothermal Heat Pumps
Efficient and environmentally friendly, geothermal heat pumps use the stable, even temperature of the earth to heat and cool your home.
A Down-to-Earth, Smart Energy Choice
A geothermal heat pump takes advantage of the earth’s constant temperature to provide highly efficient heating and cooling. In the winter, fluid circulating in underground pipes carries the earth’s heat to your home, where it is concentrated to provide heating. In the summer, the process is reversed and heat from your home is carried back to the earth through the pipes to provide cooling.
According to studies, ENERGY STAR®-certified geothermal heat pumps can reduce energy costs by 20 to 70 percent. Approximately 70 percent of the energy used in a geothermal heat pump system is renewable energy from the ground. The systems use a small amount of electricity to operate the heat pump, ground loop pump, and distribution fan or pump.
A geothermal heat pump is a reliable, low-maintenance, and environmentally friendly heating and cooling choice. It operates safely and quietly, with no combustion, direct emissions or exposed outdoor equipment, such as a fuel tank. Because it is mechanically simple and all exterior equipment is below ground, protected from the weather, maintenance costs are often lower than other heating and cooling systems.
How We Help
We make it affordable to install a geothermal heat pump system with rebates of $1,500 per ton when replacing oil, propane, natural gas, or electric resistance heat. Rebate not to exceed $15,000 per home. Provided by the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund for qualifying systems.
Heat and cool your home from the ground up. It’s a down-to-earth, smart energy choice.
