 Ground
source heat pumps are the most cost effective way to heat your home.
Period. They perform so well because they "move" heat rather
than "make" heat like traditional combustion appliances.
During heating, solar warmth stored in the ground is moved into the home.
During cooling, solar warmth collected in the home is moved to the cool
earth.Because heat is moved, less is consumed in the process. In a combustion heater, all the fuel is consumed never to be used again. Some heat and waste byproduct go out the flue. The rest of the heat moves into the home. Electricity used by the heat pump is much less than the total energy moved. Also, electricity is one of the easiest energy source to generate via renewable sources such as wind, hydroelectric, biomass, photovoltaic to name a few. Best of all, you get reduced operating costs and environmental benefits without sacrificing comfort. Ground source heat pumps keep your home, church, school and office as comfortable as you desire. |
This WEB site is
