A geothermal heat pump uses heat from the ground to serve as the heat source or heat sink for a building. These pumps can boost energy efficiency and reduce utilities costs because they use the natural change in the earth's underground temperature to regulate your home. Ortman Drilling & Water Services is a well-respected geothermal heat pump installation company in Kokomo, Indiana, serving many companies and homes.

How Does it Work?

The system transfers heat to or from the ground, based on need. Though the temperatures on earth's surface and in the atmosphere may change drastically, the temperature just below the surface stays relatively the same. This means it is cooler than the air above it in the summer and warmer than the air above it in the winter.

Benefits

Geothermal heat pumps can save you money because they are not producing as much climate-controlled air and aren't expending energy cooling or heating air. They are just pumping natural air into your home. They are also more durable, which partly comes from their efficiency. They can last up to 50 years with little maintenance.
