How Geothermal Works

No matter the temperature outside, the temperature within the Earth’s crust remains pretty consistent year round. The Earth’s crust absorbs and retains a significant amount of the sun’s heat energy, making it a great energy source. Geothermal heat pumps utilize this energy to heat or cool your home or water. When your heat pump is in heat mode, it extracts heat from the ground and uses it to heat your home. When your heat pump is in cool mode, it extracts heat from the air in your home and transfers it into the ground to cool your home down.

Benefits of Using Geothermal Systems

Owning a geothermal system is a great move for any homeowner.

Some of the key benefits of geothermal systems include:

• Quiet operation: Geothermal systems are designed to operate very quietly, so you can enjoy a more peaceful home.
• Improved comfort: These systems often include technology and features that provide dehumidification and air purification. This creates a healthier, more comfortable environment.
• Increased energy efficiency: Because geothermal systems transfer heat rather than generating it, they consume very little electricity. Homeowners often enjoy much lower monthly energy bills after installing these systems. This also makes these systems incredibly cost effective.
• Eco-friendliness: Geothermal systems do not produce carbon monoxide or any other greenhouse gasses, which allows homeowners to reduce their environmental impact.
• Incentives: There are state, local, and federal rebates and tax incentives available to residents who install geothermal systems.
