Geothermal
Heating and Cooling
A geothermal loop is an efficient, reliable
method for heating and cooling your home that
uses the natural heat-storing ability of the
earth. It's a simple concept, the earth below
a certain depth (the "frost line")
is a constant temperature of about 50 degrees
year-round. Heat can be taken from the ground
and transferred to the air in your home during
the winter. Heat can also be transferred back
into the ground during summer to cool your home.

The
basic elements of the system include:
- Buried
loops of piping (the ground loop)
- A
biodegradable liquid antifreeze
- A
pump module to circulate the antifreeze
- A
heat pump
The
loops of piping are buried in the ground and
are connected to the circulating pump inside
your home. The pump module circulates a mixture
of water and biodegradable antifreeze through
the buried pipe loops, and the liquid mixture
absorbs heat from the ground as it flows through
the loop. The heat pump takes heat from the
liquid mixture and transfers it to the air,
which is circulated in your home. To cool
your home in the summer, the system simply
works in reverse.

What are the Benefits?
- Environmental impact:
Ground-source
heat is naturally renewable and non-polluting.
- Energy efficiency: A
geothermal heat pump can move more than three units
of heat energy for every one unit of electrical energy
used to power the system.
- Lower operating costs:
A geothermal system can cut utility bills by 40-60
percent compared to conventional heating and cooling
systems.
- Lower maintenance costs:
All equipment
is protected indoors or underground.
- Single system: Geothermal
equipment provides both heating and cooling in one
system.
- Life span: A
geothermal system can have a life expectancy of up
to 30 years; ground loops are often warranted for
up to 50 years.
- Indoor comfort: Geothermal
systems eliminate the drafts common with conventional
forced-air systems.
- Design flexibility:
Geothermal systems can be easily and inexpensively
subdivided or expanded to fit building remodeling
or additions.
- Safety:
No dangers of gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning.
