Geothermal heat pumps are growing in popularity across the United States. Over 1,000,000 units are used in residential, commercial, and government buildings to date. Each year, 50,000 additional heat pumps are installed in a home, expressing a more welcoming approach from homeowners to the system.
Compared with other sources of energy, a geothermal heat pump is only in the beginning stage of reaching its potential. While ground source heat has been available for thousands of years, the first heat pump wasn't installed until 1945.
The big question is "what does the future hold for geothermal energy?"
For starters, geothermal energy has the potential to be the greenest heating and cooling system available. To persuade homeowners to purchase and install the system, the U.S. government is offering tax credits for new installations. In addition, some states are offering their own incentives for installing geothermal energy systems. We can also expect to see growth of use in Europe!
