Walk outside, There’s a power plant right under your feet. Thanks to the modern geothermal heat pump, homeowners no longer must choose between saving money and saving the planet.
A geothermal heat pump uses the constant temperature of the Earth instead of outside air temperature.

However, you should enjoy energy savings of 20% to 50% on cooling costs, and 30% and 60% on heating costs.
Thanks to the Sun’s clean, renewable energy, and a rather steady ground temperature of about 50 degrees, a 2,000 square foot home may be heated/cooled for about $1.00 a day!
Maintenance costs are reduced as well. Geothermal systems have fewer moving parts, and outside components are buried, not exposed to the wear and tear of the elements.
