Geothermal Heating and Cooling
Geothermal Energy: It pays to GO GREEN.
A geothermal heat pump is the greenest way to go. An EPA study of energy efficiency concluded that geothermal energy is the most environmentally friendly heating/cooling system. Available everywhere in the United States, geothermal energy can be found underground virtually anywhere.
Geothermal cost savings can be increased by available energy credits. Visit our tax credits page to learn more.
Heating
In winter, warmth is drawn from the earth through a series of pipes, called a loop, installed beneath the ground. A water solution circulating through this piping loop carries the earth's natural warmth to a heat pump inside the home. The heat pump concentrates the earth's thermal energy and transfers it to air circulated through interior ductwork to fill every space in your home.
Cooling
In the summer, the process is reversed; heat is extracted from air inside the house and transferred out by way of the ground loop piping. The geothermal system also uses some of the heat extracted from the interior in the summer to provide free hot water.
