A ground-source heat pump uses the shallow ground (typically at 10-12°C, 50-54°F) as a source of heat, thus taking advantage of its seasonally moderate temperatures.

Benefits

Ground Source Heat Pumps or geothermal Heat pumps offer great benefits:

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
