ground-source heat pumps
Ground-source heat pumps, also known as geothermal heat pumps, are energy-efficient heating and cooling systems that utilize the constant temperature of the earth to transfer heat between a building and the ground. They extract heat from the ground during winter to warm the building, while in summer, they remove heat from the building and transfer it back to the ground. This process enables cost-effective and sustainable temperature regulation in residential and commercial spaces.
