Geothermal heat pumps keep homes comfortable by unlocking the energy that’s stored in the ground

With energy-prices still rising, homeowners might be surprised that the best and most-efficient source for both heating and cooling might be just under their feet. John Thomas—C-E-O of “Water-Furnace”—explains… “No matter the climate [that] you live in—or the time of the year—the temperature below ground stays fairly consistent. Geothermal systems tap into this resource, by using a series of underground pipes called a ‘loop’; the ‘loop’ actually moves heat-energy to and from your home.” What other benefits do they have? “Geothermal heat-pumps are the most-energy-efficient and -comfortable way to heat and cool a building. They reduce stress on the electric grid—so, in addition to federal tax-credits, many states and utilities offer incentives for adoption. Geothermal heat-pumps are really a ‘win-win’ proposition.” Learn more at “water-furnace”-dot-com; that’s “water-furnace”-dot-com. I’m Bob Tebo, for the “Consumer Radio Network”.
