GSHPs are a cost effective, energy efficient, and environmentally friendly way of heating and cooling buildings. Both the DOE and the EPA have endorsed the technology. GSHPs reliably deliver quality air-conditioning and heating, on demand, in every season. GSHPs are appropriate for new construction as well as retrofits of older buildings. Their flexible design requirements make them a good choice for schools, high-rises, government buildings, apartments, and restaurants--almost any commercial property. Lower operating and maintenance costs, durability, and energy conservation make Ground Source Heat Pumps the smart choice for commercial applications.

• Simultaneously heat & cool different parts of the same building
• Very quiet--users do not know when the system is operating
• Can be set up in multiple zones, with each zone having an individual room control
• Greater freedoms in building design due to 50-80% less mechanical room space
• No outside equipment to hide, eliminating vandalism and roof top units
• Pipes have 50-year life expectancy
• All electric, which eliminates multiple utility services
• Expel boiler and chiller maintenance
• Ground heat exchanger is maintenance free and will last 40+ years

• Very competitive on initial costs and lower lifecycle costs than most HVAC systems.
• Savings of 25-50% on energy consumption
• Lower peak demand, lowering your operating costs
• Water heated with waste heat from air conditioning at no cost in the summer and at substantial savings in the winter
• Some utilities offer rebates or incentives to their customers who purchase GSHPs. To see what your state has to offer click here.

GSHPs are environmentally friendly:

• Conserve natural resources by providing efficient climate control and thus lowering emissions
• Minimize ozone layer destruction by using sealed refrigeration systems, which seldom or never have to be recharged
• Use underground loops to transfer heat, with no external venting and no air pollution
• Very energy efficient, with the earth providing over 70% of the energy required to heat and cool
