Can a geothermal heat pump also heat water?

Yes. Using what’s called a desuperheater, some types of geothermal heat pumps can save you up to 50 percent on your water-heating bill by preheating tank water. Desuperheaters are standard on some units, optional on others. Some geothermal models can provide all of your hot water needs on demand at the same high efficiencies as the heating/cooling cycles.

Geothermal heat pumps can use the extracted heat to supply hot water in the summer for free, and preheat water in the winter to reduce hot water costs. There are also heat pumps that heat water directly for in-floor heating systems, domestic hot water, or swimming pools.
