Geothermal uses the earths constant ground temperature to heat and cool your
home. This way of heating and cooling your home is very energy efficient and friendly
to the environment. The earth has a stable temperature from 45 to 58 degrees.
When heating during cold weather, the Earth's heat (the difference between the
earth's temperature and the colder temperature of the air) is transferred through the
buried pipes into the circulating liquid and then transferred again into the building.
When cooling during hot weather, the continually circulating fluid in the pipes picks
up heat from the building - thus helping to cool it - and transfers it into the earth.
For more information on Geothermal you can visit a couple of websites that have
great information.

Geothermal can be installed in a new home or business or as a retrofit application in
an existing building.
