Geothermal uses the earths heat to heat and air conditioning your home. A few meters of surface soil insulate the earth and ground water below. The warm earth and ground water below the surface provide a free, renewable source of energy.

The free energy is moved from the ground into your home. This is done by drawing ground water and using a heat pumop to extract heat from it and circulating it through underground piping called a loop. The loop is buried in the soil outside your home and transfers heat form the ground water to a heat pump in your home.

The loop is built from plastic pipe which is buried in the ground outside your home either in a horizontal or vertical trench. The loop can also be laid in the bottom of a lake or pond. Closed loops pump chilled water back into the loop and the process begins agani without the water ever leaving the loop. An open loop uses water from one well and returns it to a different well. Depending on the amount of water and land available decides which one is suitable for your home.

More than two-thirds of the energy delivered to your home by geothermal is renewable energy stored in the ground. There are virtually no toxic emissions. For every KW of electricity used to operate a geothermal system, it draws more than three KW of free renewable energy from the ground.
