Geothermal heating and cooling systems (also called earth energy systems, ground-source heat pumps or GeoExchangeSM systems) are heat pumps that collect and transfer heat from the earth through a series of fluid-filled, buried pipes running to a building, where the heat is then concentrated for inside use. Ground-source heat pumps do not create heat through combustion – they simply move heat from one place to another.
Heat pumps also operate in reverse to cool a home by transferring the heat out of the house, where the cooler ground absorbs the excess heat. The system is appealing because a single system can be used for both heating and cooling, thus eliminating the need for separate furnace and air-conditioning systems.
Ground-source heat pumps offer a different kind of heating. Unlike conventional forced-air furnaces, geothermal units offer a steady heat. Geothermal units are also extremely efficient in cooling homes.

There are significant cost savings in the monthly hydro bills of people with ground-source heat pumps. A 2,000 sq. ft. (185.8 m2) home built above R-2000 standards at Shadow Ridge Estates had an air conditioning cost of less than $50 for the whole cooling season and a heating cost of less than $300 for the entire winter!
