How Geothermal Heating and Cooling Works for Homes
Geothermal heating and cooling uses the Earth’s stable underground temperature to keep your home comfortable all year round. Here’s how it works:
- Underground Pipes: A series of pipes, called a ground loop, is buried in your yard. These pipes are filled with a fluid that absorbs heat from the ground in winter and releases heat into the ground in summer.
- Heat Pump: Inside your home, a geothermal heat pump moves the heat. In the winter, it pulls heat from the ground and brings it inside to warm your home. In the summer, it takes heat from your home and sends it back into the ground to cool the house.
- Energy Efficiency: Because the ground’s temperature stays consistent year-round, geothermal systems use much less energy than traditional heating and cooling, saving you money on energy bills.
Geothermal systems are eco-friendly, reliable, and provide consistent comfort for your home in every season!
