GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMPS   Cut your heating and cooling costs up to 75 percent with a Ground Source Heat Pump!   Ground source heating and cooling technology can heat and cool a 2,400 square-foot Basin home for just $1 per day (based on year-round average). Imagine a $30 heating bill in January or a $30 cooling bill in July! WHAT IS A GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP? A ground source heat pump is an advanced heating and cooling system that taps the energy beneath the earth’s surface to cost-efficiently heat and cool a home, school or business. HOW DOES IT WORK? A series of liquid-filled pipes are looped under the earth’s surface. The heat pump circulates this liquid to extract and concentrate heat and circulate it throughout the home. To cool the home, the process is reversed as the pump pulls heat from the house to the earth. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? The initial investment for a system is approximately 35 percent greater than a conventional system. However, the system will typically pay for itself in energy savings within 3-5 years.
