00:00We all want to save money on our utility bills, right?
00:11Well, the answer may be under your feet, literally.
00:14It's called geothermal energy, and it uses the natural warmth of the ground to heat and
00:19cool your home.
00:21Nearly half of the solar energy that reaches the earth remains stored in the ground at
00:25a constant temperature of about 55 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on your location.
00:30A geothermal heat pump taps into this energy to provide heat in the winter and cooling
00:36in the summer.
00:37Here's how it works.
00:38A geothermal heat pump system consists of three main parts.
00:42A heat exchanger, or simply a loop of pipes buried underground to transfer energy to and
00:48from the system.
00:50A heat pump, usually located inside the home.
00:54And a heating and cooling distribution system, such as a traditional forced air system.
00:59Or a radiant floor hydronic heating system.
01:04When it's cold outside, the ground loop collects the heat from the earth and pumps it up through
01:08the Bosch geothermal heat pump to your home.
01:11And because the Bosch geothermal heat pump simply moves heat from the earth to your home,
01:16it generates as much as three to four dollars of heat for every dollar spent on electricity.
01:22Compare this to a traditional gas furnace, which only generates 65 to 95 cents of heat
01:28for every dollar spent on fossil fuels.
01:30Now when it gets hot outside, the Bosch geothermal heat pump collects the heat from your home
01:35and pumps it to the much cooler earth below.
01:41Thanks to this constant temperature of the earth, a geothermal heat pump is twice as
01:45efficient as air conditioners or air to air heat pumps.
01:49And because the geothermal heat pump simply pumps heat to and from the earth, it has virtually
01:53no impact on the environment.
01:56Even the United States Environmental Protection Agency recognizes geothermal systems as the
02:01most energy efficient, environmentally clean, and cost effective space conditioning systems
02:06available.
02:08A Bosch geothermal heat pump is the smartest way to heat and cool your home, and here's
02:13why.
02:14With a Bosch geothermal heat pump, you can save up to 70% on your monthly heating and
02:19cooling bills by using the clean, renewable energy right under your feet.
02:24The system is engineered for quiet operation inside your home with no noisy outdoor equipment.
02:30Geothermal systems provide clean, renewable heating and cooling energy.
02:34Bosch geothermal heat pumps are backed by one of the best warranties in the industry,
02:38and the pipe used in most systems is designed to give up to 50 years of reliable service.
02:45Bosch geothermal heat pumps can also be packaged with other Bosch products, such as solar photovoltaic
02:50panels to completely zero out your utility bill.
