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.
