Despite a dip in sales last year, heat pumps are continuing to take Europe by storm. These devices take energy from the air, ground or water and transform it into heat or cool air. But how, when and ...

Heat pumps function similarly to refrigerators or air conditioners, which take warm air from one space and send it to another. In the winter, a heat pump transfers heat from the outdoors inside and, ...

BRIGHTON, COLO. — One of Colorado’s largest geothermal projects is soon drawing to a close. When finished, Solaire Apartments, in Brighton, Colo., will be entirely heated and cooled by ground-source ...

Ground source heat pumps, a small but growing segment of the U.S. heating and cooling sector, could help slash energy demands, boost American manufacturing and stabilize the electric grid as AI-fueled ...

Researchers in Sweden sought to raise the efficiency of ground source heat pumps by combining their operation with that of PVT systems and free cooling. Through a series of simulations, they found ...

New England’s largest energy utility, Eversource, is on its way to becoming the first gas utility in the country to build and run a “networked geothermal system.” The pilot project, which broke ground ...

Around 36,000 schools in the U.S. are in need of updated heating and cooling systems, according to the Government Accountability Office. Many students are trying to learn in environments that are too ...

Scientists from China have developed a novel optimization method for medium-depth ground source heat pumps, using an improved chaos particle swarm optimization. They coupled it with either a heat ...

CLIFFORD, N.D. — In 1991, Nancy Drew and her husband Jim Erickson installed a ground source heat pump on the family farm while completely remodeling the house. "It was just a smarter system than fuel ...

Industry leaders at the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association's 2025 Annual Conference painted a stark picture of approaching energy challenges while highlighting potential solutions ...

Most heat pumps fall into the broad categories of ducted or ductless, but there are also a number of subcategories you should be aware of when choosing a heat pump for your home. Sam Becker ...

The future is bright for a little known yet highly efficient method of heating and cooling, a new report by the U.S. Department of Energy concludes. Ground source heat pumps could heat and cool the ...
