What is Geothermal Heating & Cooling?

Geothermal technology uses the earth’s renewable energy, located below the earth’s surface to heat and cool your home. A few hundred feet below your home the earth’s temperature remains a constant 45 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.  Wells are drilled around your home at a depth of 250-300 feet. Pipe is then dropped into the holes which creates a loop.  Fluid is circulated through the pipes. The fluid, which consists of water and non-toxic antifreeze, absorbs the heat from the earth and carries it through the pipe, to a heat pump located in the house. The heat pump circulates the warm air/cool air into the home. In the summer the process is reversed. The heat is transferred from the air in the house by the heat pump. Then heat is the then transferred back to the earth via the water-antifreeze fluid that is running through the pipes.  Geothermal heating and cooling is the most efficient and environmentally responsible way to heat and cool your home!
