Overall Efficiency <p>Efficiency within a model group will tend to vary by the size (capacity) of the unit. Some products, like furnaces, may also be affected by installation orientation (horizontal, upflow, or downflow) or even by the nozzle used in installation, as is the case with boilers and oil furnaces. The efficiency of an air conditioner or heat pump can even be affected by the furnace or fan coil it relies on inside the home to move air. Products that fall into the “Select sizes ENERGY STAR<sup>®</sup> qualified” category include within their model group some non-qualified units due to either size or potential installation factors.</p> info

What to Look for in a Geothermal Heat Pump System

energy savings icon
Energy Savings

As a renewable energy source, geothermal energy reduces your carbon footprint—a single geothermal heat pump can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 11 metric tons over its 20-year lifespan. Geothermal heat pumps are rated by their Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) and the coefficient of performance (COP) rating, which is much like miles per gallon (MPG) for a car: the higher the rating, the more energy-efficient the system.

Utility Savings

Geothermal HVAC systems can lower home cooling and heating operating costs compared to forced-air HVAC systems, with savings as high as 70 percent.

sound-performance-icon
Sound Performance

Packaged geothermal heat pumps are an all-in-one system that do not require an outdoor unit and are fully insulated for very quiet operation. Our Infinity® split-system geothermal heat pump requires an indoor unit that will produce minimal sound. The ground source heat pump is installed outside your home and also features sound reducing technologies.

reliability_icon
Reliability

Our ground source heat pumps are durable, and because they are located indoors, they can last for up to 20 years with little maintenance. Our split-system geothermal heat pump is also extremely durable and can last for up to 15 years with little maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Geothermal Heat Pumps

A geothermal heat pump is an energy-efficient heating and cooling system that utilizes the stable temperature of the earth to regulate indoor temperatures. It transfers heat between your home and the ground using a network of underground pipes filled with a heat-absorbing fluid. In winter, it extracts heat from the ground to warm your home, and in summer, it removes heat from your home and releases it into the ground.
Yes, a geothermal heat pump can be worth it for homes in suitable climates for a geothermal heat pump due to its energy efficiency and long-term cost savings. Although the initial installation cost is higher, geothermal systems can reduce heating and cooling bills and are eco-friendly. Additionally, many qualify for federal tax credits and rebates.
The main disadvantages of geothermal heat pumps include the high upfront cost and the complex installation process, requiring significant space for underground loops and specialized equipment. Installation limitations may arise in urban areas or small properties.
