Geothermal heat pumps use electricity to heat and cool, just like a
conventional heat pump. However, unlike a conventional heat pump, geothermal
heat pumps use the relatively constant temperature of the Earth as a source of
heat in the winter and as a trap for heat in the summer. In the winter, the
fluid passing through the underground (or underwater) loops of piping is warmed
by the Earth’s heat. The collected heat is extracted and concentrated by the
heat pump, and distributed through the building’s heating system. To cool the
building in the summer, this process is reversed – the heat pump moves heat from
the indoor air into the underground loops, where it is transferred to the
relatively cooler ground. The heat removed from the indoor air during the summer
can also be used to produce some of your hot water, or to heat swimming pools,
instead of transferring it to the ground.

Wherever you live, the temperature beneath your home remains constant
regardless of the season. ClimateMaster Geothermal Heat Pump Systems harness the
stable underground temperature to provide heating, cooling, and hot water at
remarkably high efficiencies. So high, in fact, that energy use can be cut by up
to 80%. As the world’s largest and most progressive leader in clean, renewable
geothermal technology, ClimateMaster leads the way with its award-winning
Tranquility Series geothermal heat pumps.
