Ground-Source (Geothermal) Heat Pumps
A greater way to heat and cool your home.
Maximize your home's comfort and energy efficiency while reducing your carbon footprint by upgrading to a new cold-climate, ground-source heat pump. Also called a geothermal heat pump, these all-in-one systems are the most efficient choice for upgrades and new builds. They work by extracting heat from the ground and moving it in and out of your home through a system of pipes, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
When properly installed by a participating NYS Clean Heat contractor, a ground-source heat pump can reduce energy use by 30-60 percent. That's because it transfers heat instead of converting it from fossil fuel.

If you've already reduced your carbon footprint by installing a solar panel system, adding an all-in-one heat pump is a great next step. Combining this technology with your solar installation ensures your heating, cooling or hot water needs are met year-round. And, it's even possible that your solar panels could produce enough electricity to run your heat pump system all year long.
