Ground Heat Exchanger Types and Basics – Dept of Energy
Geothermal heat pumps (GHPs), sometimes referred to as GeoExchange, earth-coupled, ground-source, or water-source heat pumps, have been in use since the late 1940s. They use the constant temperature of the earth as the exchange medium instead of the outside air temperature. This allows the system to reach fairly high efficiencies (300% to 600%) on the coldest winter nights, compared to 175% to 250% for air-source heat pumps on cool days.
Energy 101: Geothermal Heat Pumps -US Dept. of Energy
An energy-efficient heating and cooling alternative, the geothermal heat pump system moves heat from the ground to a building (or from a building to the ground) through a series of flexible pipe “loops” containing water. This edition of Energy 101 explores the benefits Geothermal and the science behind how it all comes together.

Geothermal or Ground Source Heat Pumps – So What…
Heat pumps move heat from one place to another – from outside to inside a home, for example. That’s why they’re called “heat pumps.” Geothermal heat pumps are similar to ordinary heat pumps, but instead of using heat found in outside air, they rely on the stable, even heat of the earth to provide heating, air conditioning and, in most cases, hot water.
Geothermal for Consumers
Geothermal Home Energy What is it and how does it work? Geothermal home systems are not geysers or hot springs. Rather, they take advantage of the consistent year round temperature of the ground, which is [...]
