We all agree on the advantages of energy efficient construction.  By reducing CO2  emissions, we contribute to a more sustainable environment and by consuming less, we save on running costs.  In the near future, the need for alternative energy sources will grow even faster.

Geothermal energy or geothermal heating, in which heat is extracted from the earth by means of a heat pump, is increasingly mentioned as a solution to enhance energy efficiency.  Heat pumps have been around for decades.  However, due to advances in product design, public interest in energy conservation and recently enacted government incentives, interest in heat pumps has risen rapidly.  Geothermal heat pump shipments, for example, have increased nearly 4-fold in the U.S. since 2003.

The products in the Caleffi GEO® series have been conceived specifically for use in heat pump systems. In ground source heat pumps a mixture of water and anti-freeze fluid is generally used to protect against freezing temperatures.  The components are made with high-performance materials for this type of applications.
