GeoThermal
Heat Pump
Geothermal systems harvest the constant temperatures found in the earth to both heat and cool your home. Just a few feet under the ground (or in a lake or pond), the temperatures hover at 50 degrees Fahrenheit. That constant temperature makes it easy and efficient to move heat into your home during the winter or remove heat from your home during the summer. What’s more, by using a loop in the ground or water, geothermally serviced homes have no need for an outside vent or large heat pump cluttering up the yard or patio.
Why Get One?
Geothermal systems are among the most efficient heating and cooling systems anywhere in the world! In many cases, geothermal systems are 40% more efficient than even the very best air-source heat pump systems.
Perhaps best of all, given that the entire system is indoors or under the ground, geothermal systems have among the longest lives of any HVAC systems – many lasting 20-30 years or more!

Geothermal Heat Pump FAQs
Is a geothermal heat pump a good fit for homes in Kingsport and Johnson City? Yes. Geothermal systems perform well in the Tri-Cities area by providing consistent heating and cooling year-round, regardless of outdoor temperature changes. ATC evaluates local conditions to determine the best system design for your home.
How much space is needed for a geothermal system? The space required depends on the loop design. Some systems use horizontal loops that need more yard space, while others use vertical drilling or water-based loops for smaller properties. ATC helps determine the best option based on your site.
