Is Geothermal Heating Right For You?


As the Earth’s population increases, straining resources like never before, many have questioned whether to get a geothermal system, yet they don’t know the answers about some very basic concerns.

How does geothermal work?
Basically, a geothermal heat pump extracts heat from the Earth during the winter and pipes it into your home. During the summer, this process is reversed, and the pump pulls heat from your home and puts it back it into the ground. It works in the same vein that your fridge does. At the heat of this system are the pipes buried to ensure the smooth heat exchange process.

How do I know if I can use geothermal in my area?
You’re almost certainly in an area where geothermal systems can be used, unless you live in a very odd environment, like the Arctic. There may be local regulations that prevent the install, but an installer would have to take a look at your specific site.

Are they loud?
Like a standard HVAC system, a geothermal system is very quiet.
