Geo Heat Pumps: Leading Energy Utility Marketing Programs
Third Edition
The report, available on CD, covers basic information about the equipment and costs and examines successful utility heat pump marketing programs. Profiles of system manufacturers, architects, engineers and non-profit associations dedicated to promoting the technology describe history, products, markets served and competitive strengths and weakness of each organization. The CD also includes two Excel-based spreadsheet calculators. One helps utilities calculate the effects of residential geothermal heat pump installations in their territory. The other helps residential customers compare geothermal heat pumps to a variety of alternative heating and cooling systems. The spreadsheets help utilities explain and quantify the benefits of geothermal heat pumps to customers. They are an indispensable marketing tool for utilities and a great educational tool for consumers.

Peak load constraints and dramatic wholesale market price spikes are encouraging utilities to reevaluate the value and benefits of promoting residential demand response and "off peak" water and space heating programs. Discover how 3 utilities develop and implement programs that aggressively promote electric space and water heating in ways that help manage residential energy demand through direct load control or innovative rate design.
