  • Geothermal Heat Pumps

    Online

    Join us on February 19th as we explore the world of Geothermal Heat Pumps (GHPs), a technology that harnesses the constant temperature of the shallow earth to provide heating and cooling. Because the ground can absorb excess heat during the summer and act as a heat source during the winter, GHPs are extremely efficient—reducing energy consumption up to 44% compared to air source heat pumps and 72% compared to standard HVAC systems. While more costly to install, GHPs offer greater
