Geothermal utilizes heat or water from the earth to produce heating, cooling, humidity control and hot water needs for your home or business. Instead of converting chemical energy to heat like a furnace, Geothermal systems work by moving heat. No matter what the air temperature is, the temperature underground stays relatively constant. Heat is exchanged with the earth using a pump and buried pipe system called a "loop." Fluid within the loop is constantly circulated through the system, transferring heat.

In heating mode, heat from the earth is absorbed into the fluid in the loops and distributed to the building. Cooler air from the building cools the fluid, which is then reheated as it circulates through the loop. In cooling mode, the process is reversed. The relatively cool fluid from the earth absorbs heat from the building and transfers it to the ground.

Since geothermal doesn't burn fossil fuels, there is no flame, fumes, or harmful greenhouse gases emitted into the environment. Additionally, indoor air quality is improved. Geothermal systems provide consistent, even temperatures with no hot or cold spots. Geothermal units provide both heat and cooling to the building, eliminating the need for a separate air conditioning unit on the premises.

Benefits of Geothermal

Geothermal heat pumps are among the most efficient and comfortable heating and cooling technologies available.

Consumers could have a 30 to 40% savings on heating and cooling bills.

Geothermal units are quieter than conventional systems and have water heating capabilities.

No harmful emissions from burning fossil fuels.
