Heat Pumps & Geothermal

Our Geothermal Library features everything you need to know about the world’s most efficient form of heating and cooling.

Geothermal Heating & Cooling

Geothermal is the preferred choice. Midwest Electric recently surveyed all members who have geothermal, and this is what geothermal users think about geothermal:

• 99% are satisfied or very satisfied with the cooling performance of their geothermal system.
• 97% are satisfied or very satisfied with the heating performance of their geothermal system.
• The vast majority - 85% - said geothermal has provided their family with "significant savings."
• 99% said they would choose geothermal again if they had to make the choice again today.
• 98% said the benefits of geothermal are worth the initial investment.

Geothermal systems are several times more efficient than gas furnaces, and use the limitless resource of the ground's natural temperature. Geothermal systems use underground pipes and an environmentally friendly liquid to transfer heat between your home and yard.

They also provide the most efficient, least cost air conditioning in the summer. And, the excess heat from the compressor is used to pre-heat your hot water tank - saving 30-40% on your water heating costs.

Air-Source Heat Pumps

Today's high-efficiency air source heat pumps provide year-round comfort with reliable technology. Improvements to coil and motor design, coupled with variable-speed blowers and sophisticated thermostatic expansion valves make today's heat pumps a choice you can count on for years to come.

Typically, the heat pump will work alongside your existing gas, propane or oil furnace. The heat pump will be the primary heating source typically until outside temperatures are around 30 degrees F. Once outdoor temperatures fall below the set temperature, the system automatically switches over to your gas furnace.

The average household can save on average $400 per year in lower heating bills by adding a heat pump to your existing furnace. Call us for a personalized cost comparison.
