If you\u2019ve been searching endlessly online for ‘geothermal installation near me<\/a>‘ then you can stop looking. You found us! We live and work in your community, and our experts specialize in geothermal installation. Maybe you\u2019ve heard geothermal as a buzzword that has piqued your interest, but you\u2019re not exactly sure what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can help! Geo is the prefix of the word, and it means \u201cof the earth\u201d while thermal means \u201crelated to heat.\u201d So combined, geothermal means related to the heat of the earth. And that\u2019s exactly how a geothermal heating and cooling system works. It uses the heat of the earth to control the temperature inside your home. If you want to learn more, just keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Does Geothermal Cooling Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fall is here, and soon you\u2019ll be turning on your heat. But at least half of the year you run your air conditioner to cool your home, so many homeowners want to know how geothermal cooling works. Especially when you consider the name \u2013 heat of the earth. Your geothermal heating and cooling system is housed ten feet or more underground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antifreeze circulates with water through the coils buried in the ground. In the winter, your geothermal system pulls heat from underground to warm your home up. But in the summer the system does the opposite. It takes heat away from your home and deposits it underground to cool your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Geothermal Heating and Cooling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many air conditioners heat and cool your home using outside air. But when it\u2019s very cold outside there\u2019s less heat to bring into your home, and vis versa during the hottest days of summer. But a geothermal system doesn\u2019t have that problem because it\u2019s using a source that is buried deep underground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperatures in the air may change, but the temperatures underground remain relatively stable year-round. This makes geothermal installation a smart choice because the system is three to six times more efficient than other types of HVAC systems. Plus, it\u2019s better for the environment because it has fewer emissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to remember that not all homes are eligible for a geothermal unit installation. The coils that go in the ground take up a significant amount of space, so you have to have room on your property to accommodate the coils. Our team can conduct a free assessment of your property to let you know if you\u2019re eligible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
