Other names
People often confuse geothermal energy, ground-source heating systems and geothermal/ground source
heat pumps. Geothermal simply means “earth heat” (geo - earth, thermal - heat).So geothermal energy is energy
produced from an earth-based source, such as when underground steam supplies are used to convert heat energy to electricity.Ground-source heat pumps do not create energy but simply move heat energy from one location to another, such as moving heat in the ground into a home.Geothermal/ground-source heat pumps are the actual condensing
units in the home that concentrate the heat. Ground-source heating systems also are known by a variety of other names. Some of the other names you could see include ground-coupled heat system, GeoExchange and earth energy systems.
