What Is It?

A ducted ground source heat pump is a highly efficient electric heating and cooling system.

How Does it Work?

A ducted ground source heat pump uses traditional air ducts and vents throughout a home to distribute warm or cool air. To heat a home it absorbs heat from the ground then moves the heat to the air handler to circulate warm air throughout the home. During the summer it absorbs heat from the home then moves the heat to the ground to dissipate it.
