Geothermal heat pumps are better equipped to handle freezing outdoor temperatures than air-source heat pumps.

Answer: True
Explanation: It uses a constant earth temp and doesn't rely on ambient air

Answer: True
Explanation: The earths temperature stays at a pretty constant temperature year round even with freezing outdoor temperatures.

Answer: True
Explanation: Geothermals are not affected by outdoor temperatures at all.

Answer: True
Explanation: This is because the ground has a constant tempature where as air can change tempature.

Answer: True
Explanation: Air to Air heat pumps hit their balance point around 28 degrees where a Geo. has a much lower balance point.

Answer: True
Explanation: During the outside freezing temperatures there is not much heat available in the ambiant air. The temperature in the ground however should still be a comstant 45 to 65 degrees. Lots of heat availale.

Answer: True
Explanation: heat is collected from subsurface constant temperarure

Answer: True
Explanation: Yes that is true when outdoor temperatures go below freezing

Answer: True
Explanation: This is true because you have your loop lines buried in the ground where the tempature is 53 degrees all year round and opperate at a much lower tempature than a air to air heat pump.

Answer: True
Explanation: you use heat stored in the ground

Answer: True
Explanation: They are transferring heat from well under ground where temperature is pretty constant year round, as opposed to air source transferring heat from outside during really cold weather.

Answer: True
Explanation: Geo thermal is relying on temperatures of the water and earth below the surface that is much less effected by air temperature

Answer: True
Explanation: always heat in ground water
