How Do Geothermal Systems Work?
If you were to dig down into the ground at about 6 feet, the temperature would be around 50-55°F in our region. This temperature remains consistent throughout the year, regardless of the air temperature above ground. This consistency allows for efficient cooling and heating.
To harness the earth’s energy, a series of pipes need to be buried in your yard. A heat pump compressor inside your home circulates a water/methanol mix through these pipes. In heating mode, the water/methanol mix absorbs heat from the ground and carries it to the geothermal heat pump compressor, which then distributes the heat through your ductwork. In cooling mode, the geothermal heat pump compressor extracts heat from your home’s air and deposits it into the ground.

Installing a geothermal system is a complicated process that should always be done by a professional.
