Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pump systems are a smart, long-lasting, and efficient alternative that use geothermal energy to provide year-round comfort — keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Why Consider a Heat Pump?
In addition to generating heat more effectively than oil, propane, or electric baseboards, a ground-source heat pump also provides year-round comfort by doubling as your air conditioner in the summer. With thousands in rebates available, and the opportunity to get 100% of your upfront costs covered it’s never been easier—or more affordable—to switch to the most efficient and eco-friendly technology available.
By upgrading to a heat pump you’ll enjoy:
- A healthier home. Unlike oil or propane, heat pumps don’t require combustion of fossil fuels or fuel storage, eliminating the potential release of carbon monoxide while improving your home’s air quality.
- Efficient heating and cooling. Heat pumps are very energy efficient—they extract more energy than they consume by moving heat stored in the earth into or out of your home.
- Greater control of your comfort. Heat pumps provide whisper-quiet, even heating and cooling regardless of the season.
- Convenience and longevity. Heat pumps last longer than conventional furnaces and air conditioners and require minimal maintenance. By switching to a heat pump, you’ll eliminate the need for a window A/C and, if you currently heat your home with oil or propane, you’ll never have to deal with the hassle of scheduling fuel deliveries again.

Interested in How Ground Source Heat Pump Systems Work?
Rather than producing heat through the combustion of fossil fuels, ground source heat pumps efficiently extract heat from the ground during cold weather and distribute it throughout your home. During warmer months, the process is reversed to provide cooling.
Ground source heat pumps are a good heating and cooling option if you’re planning a major renovation or building a new home.
