What is it?

A geothermal system is based on the concept that heat will naturally move from something warm to something cool. Even though outdoor temperatures fluctuate with the changing seasons, underground temperatures (4-6 feet beneath the surface) remain constant year round. Geothermal therefore uses the natural energy stored in the earth to heat and cool your home or business by means of a geothermal heat pump.

This technology is the ideal choice for heating and cooling in virtually every type of building.  Unlike traditional furnaces that burn fuels for heat and require a separate air conditioner or chiller system, geothermal heat pumps provide heating and cooling by simply moving heat from one place to another instead of by creating it. The extraordinary efficiencies make it the most cost-effective method for heating and cooling, reducing monthly energy bills by up to 60% over ordinary systems. It’s also an excellent long-term investment for any business. It is little wonder why these systems are so economical – they are using free heat from the ground.

How it works?

Geothermal heating, cooling and water heating is an electrically powered system that collects heat from water circulated through pipes buried in the earth. The water running through the pipes then collects the heat from the earth and circulates warm air throughout a building or home.

In the summer, the geothermal heat pump reverses this heat-moving process, effectively air-conditioning your home.  And, by using rejected heat in the summer, the system can essentially satisfy all water heating needs.
