What is a geothermal heat pump?

A geothermal heat pump uses the earth's natural temperature to provide heating and cooling. It circulates fluid through underground pipes (a ground loop), absorbing heat from the earth in winter and transferring it into the building.. It can both heat and cool your home or business efficiently. Geothermal systems are ideal for homeowners and businesses looking for sustainable and eco-friendly heating and cooling solutions.

What is the difference between a single-stage and two-stage heat pump?

Single-stage and two-stage heat pumps differ in their operation and offer distinct benefits::
Single-stage heat pumps operate at a single capacity level. They either run at full power or are off, which might impact comfort and reduce efficiency.
Two-stage heat pumps can operate at both high and low speeds. The low-stage setting provides gentle heating or cooling for most days, while the high-stage setting activates for colder or hotter weather, ensuring optimal comfort in extreme climates. Two-stage heat pumps are generally more energy-efficient and offer more consistent temperature control improving home comfort.
