How it works

A loop in the ground.
A heat pump inside.

Water circulates through a buried loop to trade heat between your building, the ground source heat pump and the earth. In winter the ground gives heat. In summer it takes it back.

FAQ

Geothermal FAQ

Q.01How much can geothermal save?

Geothermal can potentially cut heating, cooling and hot water costs by up to 80 percent. Actual savings depend on your demand and the cost of energy.

Q.02Horizontal trench or vertical bore?

Horizontal trenching usually costs less where you have the land for it. Vertical bores fit smaller lots and tighter sites. We evaluate your property and recommend the right loop.

Q.03Does geothermal also make hot water?

Many ground source heat pumps can preheat or supply domestic hot water, which adds to the savings.
