Monday, June 20th, 2022

Did you know that another name for a geothermal heating and cooling system, is a “ground-sourced” heat pump? It makes sense if you think about it! The heat pump sources its heat from underground instead of from the air, and that’s what makes it so effective at keeping your home comfortable!
