"Save money" and "environmentally friendly" in the same sentence?!
Geothermal heating and cooling is a renewable energy solution that uses the earth's constant temperature to regulate a home's temperature. A geothermal system consists of a ground loop, heat pump, and distribution system. The ground loop is buried in the earth and contains a fluid that absorbs heat from the ground. The heat pump extracts the heat from the fluid and distributes it throughout the home. During cooling mode, the process is reversed, and heat is absorbed from the home and transferred back to the ground.
The pros of geothermal heating and cooling include high efficiency, low operating costs, and environmental friendliness. However, the initial installation cost can be expensive, and the system requires a significant amount of space.
Geothermal vs air-source heat pumps
Ground-source heating, also known as geothermal heating, uses heat stored in the ground to warm homes and buildings. It involves circulating a fluid through pipes buried in the ground, where it absorbs heat from the earth and carries it to a heat pump. In contrast, air-source heating systems extract heat from the outside air using a heat pump, which then heats the home or building. The main difference between the two is that ground-source heating tends to be more efficient because the temperature of the ground remains relatively constant, while air-source heating is more variable depending on the temperature of the outside air. However, ground-source heating systems are typically more expensive to install due to the need for excavation and the installation of pipes, which is where we use our financing options to help expedite your savings.

FAQs
Geothermal heating and cooling works by circulating a fluid (usually water or antifreeze) through pipes buried in the ground. The fluid absorbs heat from the earth and carries it to a heat pump in the building, which then distributes the heat through the building's heating system. In the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump extracts heat from the building and deposits it into the ground.
Geothermal heating and cooling is a technology that utilizes the earth's natural heat to heat or cool a building. The system uses a ground-source heat pump to transfer heat from the earth to the building or vice versa.
