Re: Geothermal Heat Pumps


Geothermal is the best/most efficient system you could use. It is also the most expensive to install, but it will pay for itself in the long term in reduced energy costs. I'm pretty sure the SEER ratings for geothermal heat pumps are up into the mid 20's now compared to the 16-18 SEER air to air systems currently out there.
