Geothermal heat pumps are a great way to decrease your heating and cooling energy consumption. What’s more, the lifespan of a geothermal heat pump is the same as a conventional HVAC. Your geothermal heat pump lasts as long as a standard HVAC system but uses less power. Geothermal heat pumps use up to 50% less energy … Read more
Looking for energy-efficient, cost-saving methods to both warm-up and cool down your home? Then look no further than geothermal heating and cooling! One of the fascinating aspects of geothermal energy is that it comes from within our Earth’s crust. As such, it’s more resilient, sustainable, and reliable. So, instead of using a conventional air-conditioner or … Read more
Weighing up a particular energy technology’s advantages and disadvantages is a critical part of determining its worth — the impact of earth energy systems is no exception. Carefully considering the pros and cons of a geothermal heat pump is an insightful way to make knowledgeable decisions for your home! You may have come across the … Read more
Air source heat pumps (unlike their ground-source cousins) are relatively easy and inexpensive to install and have therefore historically been the most widely used heat pump type. These pumps are a great alternative to other heating systems as they use a relatively small amount of electricity to run. For those of you living in areas … Read more
If you’ve thought about installing a ground source heat pump on your property, then you’ve probably wondered what the cost of one is. There’s no denying that the machinery needed to install some of these systems can be difficult to source – ultimately affecting the price point. That begs the question – what is the … Read more
Ground source heat pumps, also known as geothermal heat pumps (GHPs) have been in use since the 1940s. Ground source heat pumps use the constant temperature below the earth as a sustainable resource to warm or cool your home. It’s a clean energy source ready for the vast majority of us to use, using of … Read more
