Geothermal Heating and Cooling Systems
The earth absorbs almost 50% of all solar energy and remains a nearly constant temperature of 50°F to 70°F depending on geographic location. Working with an underground loop system, a geothermal unit utilizes this constant temperature to exchange energy between your home and the earth for heating and cooling.
In winter, water circulating inside a sealed loop absorbs heat from the earth and carries it to the geothermal unit. Here it is compressed to a higher temperature and sent as warm air to your indoor heating system for distribution throughout your home.
In the summer, the system reverses the process and expels heat from your home to the cooler earth through the loop system. This heat exchange process is not only natural, but it is a truly ingenious and highly efficient way to create a comfortable climate in your home.
