Our Passion for Geothermal

We're passionate about geothermal energy because it offers a truly sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional heating and cooling systems. By harnessing the constant, stable temperature found deep beneath the earth's surface, geothermal systems provide exceptional energy efficiency year-round. Unlike traditional methods that rely on burning fossil fuels, geothermal heat pumps reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier environment for everyone.

How Geothermal Works

Geothermal heat pump systems utilize a network of underground pipes called a ground loop to transfer heat. In the winter, these pipes absorb the earth's natural heat and deliver it to a heat pump, which warms your home. During the summer, the process reverses, with the cooler temperature found underground being used to cool your home. This constant temperature source allows geothermal systems to operate with significantly less energy than conventional systems, resulting in substantial savings on your energy bills.

Types of Ground Loop Systems

We offer a variety of ground loop system options tailored to your specific property and needs. These include:

• Horizontal Loops: These systems involve burying pipes in trenches dug horizontally across your property.

• Vertical Loops: Vertical loops utilize boreholes drilled deep into the ground, creating a more compact system ideal for properties with limited surface space.

• Pond Loops: For homes with access to a suitable pond or lake, we can utilize the water as part of the ground loop system.

• Groundwater Loops: These systems tap into underground water sources, utilizing the water's natural temperature for heating and cooling.

The best type of ground loop system for your home depends on various factors such as the size and layout of your property, soil conditions, and your local climate.
