The temperature outdoors can rise and fall with the season. This fluctuation affects your property, so you adjust by installing cooling and heating systems that will regulate indoor temperature. However, the temperature beneath the ground tends to stay constant, regardless if it’s the peak of summer or the dead of winter.
Geothermal heating takes advantage of this constant temperature and brings it to your home by using water and anti-freeze fluid. First, the cold water flows through the polyethylene pipes buried beneath your property to be heated by the earth. Once it’s heated, the water is pumped into the building to distribute the heat. Then, it is returned to the earth to be reheated.
