GEOTHERMAL
A Geothermal heating/cooling system uses the solar energy that is stored in the ground to heat and cool your home. The sun’s energy warms the ground and the earth’s temperature remains a constant 55 degrees at approximately 6 feet below the surface. A complete system consists of a Geothermal Heat Pump, duct work and pipes that are buried in the ground. The underground pipes have liquid circulating through them that absorb heat from the ground. That heat is brought into the Heat Pump that then distributes the heat throughout your house. Cooling your home consists of extracting the heat from inside your house and bringing it out through the pipes. This heat is absorbed into the earth and in return the pipes bring in cooler liquid to cool your house.

Types of Systems
Water-to-water system
Water-to-water geothermal heat pumps heat and cool water, for hydronic radiant systems, or for dedicated water heating in commercial buildings (for example, washing machines in a Laundromat or hospital). If you are interested in radiant in floor heating, water-to-water is for you. This system has two water loop systems. One is connected to the earth loop and the other is connected to the house for heating.
Water-to-Air system
Water-to-air geothermal heat pumps heat and cool air, for forced-air ducting systems. In the United States, most homes use forced-air ducting distribution systems, so water-to-air units are the standard type used. There is one water loop connected to the earth, through a coil the heated or cooled air is transferred to by duct to the house.
Split system
Is a combination system that primarily uses a Water-to-water system that utilizes a water coil and duct to heat or cool a part of the home while relying on radiant on the other part of the home.
