The term ground source heat pumps (also known as GSHPS, geothermal heat pumps, ground-coupled heat pumps, and GeoExchange systems) refers to a family of systems that meet heating, and cooling needs using heat transfer between the earth and the indoor air. High efficiencies are achieved with GSHPs because they take advantage of relatively constant ground or water temperatures.
